None, well some squeaker a year back or more submitted code and a 
change set to me that diddled with the resource fork. However I've 
not implemented it because it's really quite platform specific and if 
you really need this, then you should be doing FFI stuff to do it. 
Also beware of behavior differences between classic and the os-x 
implementations.
