This is actually something I'm thinking of implementing. But still, it would only be semi-useful, since the service I intend to interface with is in many parts search-oriented. (Spotify, a music service)
Maybe I will fork this little project into two separate, small projects: 1) Spotlight importer for indexing objects previously seen by the user. 2) Fuse file system, for interfacing with the (Spotify) world.
