/**
 * {@link File} like object with remoting support.
 *
 * <p>
 * Unlike {@link File}, which always implies a file path on the current computer,
 * {@link FilePath} represents a file path on a specific slave or the master.
 *
 * Despite that, {@link FilePath} can be used much like {@link File}. It exposes
 * a bunch of operations (and we should add more operations as long as they are
 * generally useful), and when invoked against a file on a remote node, {@link FilePath}
 * executes the necessary code remotely, thereby providing semi-transparent file
 * operations.
 *
 * <h2>Using {@link FilePath} smartly</h2>
 * <p>
 * The transparency makes it easy to write plugins without worrying too much about
 * remoting, by making it works like NFS, where remoting happens at the file-system
 * later.
 *
 * <p>
 * But one should note that such use of remoting may not be optional. Sometimes,
 * it makes more sense to move some computation closer to the data, as opposed to
 * move the data to the computation. For example, if you are just computing a MD5
 * digest of a file, then it would make sense to do the digest on the host where
 * the file is located, as opposed to send the whole data to the master and do MD5
 * digesting there.
 *
 * <p>
 * {@link FilePath} supports this "code migration" by in the
 * {@link #act(FileCallable)} method. One can pass in a custom implementation
 * of {@link FileCallable}, to be executed on the node where the data is located.
 * The following code shows the example:
 *
 * <pre>
 * FilePath file = ...;
 *
 * // make 'file' a fresh empty directory.
 * file.act(new FileCallable&lt;Void>() {
 *   // if 'file' is on a different node, this FileCallable will
 *   // be transfered to that node and executed there.
 *   public Void invoke(File f,VirtualChannel channel) {
 *     // f and file represents the same thing
 *     f.deleteContents();
 *     f.mkdirs();
 *   }
 * });
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>
 * When {@link FileCallable} is transfered to a remote node, it will be done so
 * by using the same Java serialization scheme that the remoting module uses.
 * See {@link Channel} for more about this. 
 *
 * <p>
 * {@link FilePath} itself can be sent over to a remote node as a part of {@link Callable}
 * serialization. For example, sending a {@link FilePath} of a remote node to that
 * node causes {@link FilePath} to become "local". Similarly, sending a
 * {@link FilePath} that represents the local computer causes it to become "remote."
