--------------------------------+---------------------------
 I was thinking the other day that I share writecaps to directories among
 multiple computers and I didn't think to replicate the added convergence
 secret to all of those computers, so I may have missed some opportunities
 for convergent upload.

 It would be cool if a directory had a "suggested added convergence secret"
 stored in it, encrypted under the directory's writecap. Then whenever I
 authorized another one of my computers to write to that directory and
 uploaded a file into the directory, the node would fetch the added
 convergence secret from the directory, decrypt it, and use that for files
 that it was uploading with the intent to subsequently link them into that
 directory.
