Enable use with memory-fs
I am producing all the files and storing them only in memory, i.e. https://github.com/webpack/memory-fs. I'd like there to be an option to tell serve-static which fs to use.
Does that module actually implement enough of the features to work here? I didn't look at it immediately but I remember at least one previous issue about this. Of course, please feel so inclined to make a PR in which you think the ideal implementation should be. This module does not require(fs) anywhere, so the change here is not obvious to me.

serve-static is using send to read-stream files.

Bummer. This would require modification of send as well as serve-static.
I see that send is using only stat and createReadStream. memory-fs implements these methods.
Supporting this feature would require send to introduce a factory abstraction.
This is too low of a priority for me to champion such change. I will rather simply write to the disk and continue using serve-static.
Lets leave this open and see if more people require this feature. I am sensing it might be an edge use case.
