Implementing this on modern systems would mean those systems adopting dynamic #drivers. In an example using a plan9 like system you would, mount the relevant #drivers over the processes's fileserver and then write the autoobject driver #ߝ and mount it.
End result may look like this after `sensor' has been made and the fileserver mounted.
cat /n/temperatured/drivermap
ctl
#c plan9/
#e environment/
#ߝ sensors/
sensor/objmap encodedmetadata
sensor/occlusion encodedmetadata
sensor/heat encodedmetadata
If they shove this into whatever system your using, have fun with how broken 9p is there. Nothing implements even the standard correctly, disregard it's design flaws.
This has been statically adopted as procfs on modern systems, it's broken by design and makes things worse, amasing.
