Description

Let's consider providing a way for users to implement handlers for custom mount types.

See this [HN comment](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49381457) for more context:

> The main integration point start wold be that my environment would need to have a way to point at some data filename/url and identify that it is a thing that can be run by Kandelo. Then it would pass it to Kandelo, If it had hooks for allowing the host environment to manage operations for some file descriptors then my environment would be able to assemble something that looked like stdin and stdout to the running process.
