    Because I forgot to CC Thomas on the discussion adding this post, it was
    merged prematurely.  This patch updates the post to incorporate the
    feedback I received on it:
    
    - Title change: This article mostly deals with presenting a guest image
      in one image format as a raw image, so the title should reflect that;
      there is much less focus on exporting block devices from a live VM
    
    - Mention libguestfs, and contrast against it; make a note that
      libguestfs provides security that FUSE exports cannot provide
    
    - Have a full example in the intro, to show where we are going with this
      post
    
    - Some heading depths changed (nesting did not really make sense)
    
    - Be more explicit that by "file mounts" I do not mean a filesystem with
      a root directory and a single file in it
    
    - Explicitly mention that "/" is a directory without a name, to
      illustrate the fact that root nodes do not have names
    
    - Short intro for "QEMU block exports", explaining its place in this
      post
    
    - Make all exports writable
    
    - Use "exp0" as export ID to get shorter lines that fit better into 80
      characters
    
    - Reference the intro example in the intro of "Mounting an image on
      itself"
    
    - Show "qemu-fuse-disk-export.py" in *italic* instead of as `code`
      (because I had all other command names in *italic*)
