- * W7 v3 — incremental typed records for streamed bulk filesystem writes.

+ * W7 v4 — incremental typed records for streamed filesystem writes, in
+ * program order: the records are the operations a writer made, in the order
+ * it made them, and a stream that stops commits a prefix of them (each group
+ * whole). A path may be named by several operations (a file written, renamed,
+ * written again). Every producer speaks v4; the format is internal, and every
+ * producer and consumer deploys together. v3 (no rename, truncate or setattr,
+ * one operation per path, deletes then directories then files) is still
+ * decoded for the one release that rolls v4 out: delete it with W7_MAGIC_V3.
+ * Fields added to v4 since (each deploys with both ends, so the magic stays):
+ * a create call's `umask`; the `open` and `close` calls (a write
+ * description's), an `open`'s `ino`, and a description's `description` on
+ * its write, append and ftruncate calls.
