Yeah, create a snapshot, clone it, find and remove all the things you
don't want to see, done.

Views would be faster, initially (they could be O(1) to create), and
easier to create, perhaps, but also slower to traverse, since each
readdir might have to stat all objects named in the directory (oof).
