Subject: I have one idea to improve ext4 filesystem efficientcy

Hello

I am just in love with ext family file system!

I have studied it deeply and now I want to contribute with an idea that 
could be used for next versions from ext4 and ahead

It's a simple thing that is fully compatible with current Ext4 version 
and will improve space efficiency.

I don't really want to write code, just transfer my vision to an already 
envolved and competent programmer that is working on ext4 development.

PS: I have contributed to other free open source projects. My name is 
present in the Greasemonkey Mozilla extension (js expert) and as 
TuxGuitar as translator.

Now I just wanted to share a tech insight that would improve ext4 
efficiency even more.

Best Regards
