is a concatenation of fragments of one or more files. By default the
fused file is read-only.

+A writeable fused file is set up by associating the mount with a
+"scratch pad file"
FUSE file mount for combining file fragments.
* __filename/from-to__ include the file from the given start position, up to the given end position (not included).
+ * *pad=*_filename_ when this is given as first argument, the fused
+ file is set up as a writable random-access file, where the write
+ events are captured appended to the nominated "pad" file. The new
+ content is inserted into the fused file but not the original files,
+ and fragments are split up and adjusted as needed so as to make the
+ write events appear as insertions inteo the fused file.
+
## EXAMPLES
Insert file "y" into file "x" at position 1200:
If the mountpoint file doesn't exist, then **fusefile** creates it,
and removes it when unmounted.
+When a "pad" file is used, it is updated as a simple archive where
+each write event is a new member appended at the end. Each "pad"
+member has a prefix of two newline-terminated text lines telling the
+insertion position and the member size (both as ascii decimal digits),
+before the actual insertion event content.
