+From the implementation point it's worth mentioning how idmappings are represented.

 Let's see some examples with caller/filesystem idmapping but without mount
 idmappings. This will exhibit some problems we can hit. After that we will
 revisit/reconsider these examples, this time using mount idmappings, to see how
