Crispin,

I'd suggest filing tickets on all the issues you encounter in this
regard.  It would be even nicer to file them with patches.

I've been thinking a bit about this with regard to the GDAL provider.
Unfortunately the dataset argument to the GDAL provider might be
a file, a directory or something not obviously related to the file
system so it isn't obvious what to do about it.

Best regards,
