Almost all format drivers have the same characteristics as far as
permissions are concerned: They have one or more children for storing
their own data and, more importantly, metadata (can be written to and
grow even without external write requests, must be protected against
other writers and present consistent data) and optionally a backing file
(this is just data, so like for a filter, it only depends on what the
parent nodes need).
This provides a default implementation that can be shared by most of
our format drivers.
