I think ideally we need to work in the direction outlined in the TODO
list link for tablespaces. We clearly need this functionality, but I
think there is a perception we need to do it right the first time. I
don't see your work as that far away from where we want to be so I
encourage you to read the link next to tablespaces and see what parts
you like and what parts you don't.

The usual steps are to outline the functionality you want to add, then
we can discuss implementation. It is a feature we very badly need.
