[kiofuse] [Bug 75324] Integrate KIO Slaves into file system using FUSE gateway

--- Comment #89 from Alexander Schlarb <alexander-kde at ninetailed.ninja> ---
Is there any reason by KDE really needs it's own remote vfs abstraction system
and cannot use GIO/GVFS instead as suggested in comment #6? (There is even some
code to start off for inspiration from even if its like 10 years old.)

Some selling points GVFS/GIO has over KIO (mostly subjective, but meh):

  * Already has the mentioned FUSE layer
  * Used and maintained outside the KDE community
  * Copying many small files (locally!) is a lot faster
     - (Although it's still insanely slower than good old `cp A B`.)
  * Finally having a standard would probably make a lot more external devs
happy to add native support for this (I don't think that standard could be KIO,
since it's so KDE/Qt/C++-centric while GIO basically only requires GLib)
  * (Doesn't crash on MTP [might just happen to be an issue with all mobile
devices I ever owned, but it never happens when using GIO instead].)

I'm honestly interested in the devs opinions here since: There may well be
something obvious I'm not seeing.
