Another highly useful addition would be the ability to get/set "entity
tags" to support caching semantics and optimistic concurrency as in
HTTP (http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec3.html#sec3.11).
A new param to create_open would be an optional etag value which is
returned on get_paths().

This would also help integrity checks between the data referenced by
keys stored by applications versus the keys that mogile itself knows
about.
