Already here - XFS.  XFS performs dynamic space allocation and for very
small files just stores the contents as meta-data inside the files inode
entry in the space that would be used by the block-map of a 'large'
file.  Inode allocation is also handled dynamically, rather than
creating a static number when the filesystem is created (like ext2,
ext3, etc...).  The inode count can both increase and decrease
on-demand.
