This is great! I hope that this project enables those many FUSE-related applications to return to Homebrew since an open-source FUSE provider is now available again.

I am curious though why a NFSv4 server was chosen over wrapping Apple's File Provider API [1], which seems to be the native method for providing virtual file systems from user space on macOS since macOS 11.5. After glancing over the API I guess it's because FPEs are too high-level to implement FUSE properly, but I'd be glad if you can share any details to satisfy my curiosity.

EDIT: Errata, I assumed it was open-source, but it is not. Too bad :( -- but at least this will eventually provide a more stable FUSE experience on macOS.

It seems based on the associated WWDC video (https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2021/10182/) that API appears to be for making your own Dropbox/GDrive/OneDrive client, and not "present this totally fake filesystem" scenario
