Automagic file-handling. Well, sorta..you can set an autofile's read hook to do funky things while a file is loading piece by piece. It was originally meant to be used more throughout Xiqual, but has not, for some reason. It would be useful to let higher level functions accept an autofile with its hooks in place, so that you can do some extra "magic" while a function still does its manipulation.
