Better way to modify files.

[sindresorhus]

The current way of modifying files are both slow and ugly. We load and write the file each time we want to do changes to it.

A better way would be to have file modification methods that loads the file at the setup of a generator and writes at the end by stacking up all the calls or something.

This is important since modifying files is a big part of a generator.

I would like us to finally get around to exploring this in 1.1. If we're to be a serious scaffolding solution, we should make this process as clean as possible.

This sounds somewhat related to my inquiry about process multiple files as templates (like an entire directory)

I was wondering if any high level modules offering good primitive for working on an in memory FS camed out recently?

I'm thinking about projects like Broccoli or AssetGraph.
