You are spot-on! We definitely need to pass the root directory to VFS
plugins. Actually, I also desperately need this feature. :-)
However, right now, we deliberately postpone the addition of new VFS
features as we first need to fully nurture the code that we already
have. A look at the issue tracker [1] reveals the construction sites
that should be wrapped up first.
