+"""
+DictFS allows you to easily create read-only filesystems when the
+file tree is known in advance.
+
+To create your own DictFS descendent, simply override the files
+property, which can be created either using the property
+decorator, or just a simple assignment.
+
+A dictionary represents a directory, with keys corresponding to
+file names and the values corresponding to the file contents.
