For my use case it doesn't matter what kind of `FileSystem` is returned; I 
figure this could be convenient for a future client. I would tend toward 
keeping it this type to match the other overload of 
`RedirectingFileSystem::create`, but happy to change it if you disagree.

Regarding `unique_ptr`, I chose that as a sounder alternative to the raw 
pointer above; leaves options open to clients if they do want unique ownership, 
which seems nice to support since it's trivial. My use case will ultimately 
assign it to an `IntrusiveRefCntPtr` so if you disagree I can change it.
