Description
Hi, how should we deal with formats that use multiple different files to store data? Think of formats that consist of a data file and a header file with the metadata. It makes sense to load them together but I'm not sure if something like that is currently possible.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing how FileIO.jl currently identifies and loads formats, then determine how multi-file inputs should be represented and discovered. Done requires an agreed design and a demonstrated way to load a format whose data and metadata are stored separately.
