Description
If FileSystems can implement a generic open(...) method that opens a file as a text or binary stream for reading or writing, then fman itself could implement a default implementation for copying / moving across file system boundaries. For example, to copy from dropbox:// to file://, fman could open(dropbox://) for reading, then open(file://) for writing and stream the contents of one to the other.
