A long time ago, when i was a kid, I had dream. It went like this:

FWIW, Mac OS X is one step closer to your vision than the typical
Linux distribution: It has a directory for swapfiles -- /var/vm -- and
it creates new swapfiles there as needed. (It used to be that each
swapfile would be 80MB, but the iMac next to me just has a single 64MB
swapfile, so maybe Mac OS 10.4 does something different now.)
/var/vm/swap*
64M    swapfile0
64M    swapfile1
128M    swapfile2
256M    swapfile3
512M    swapfile4
512M    swapfile5
1.5G    total

However only the first 5 are in use. the 6th just represents the peak swap usage on this machine. This is on 10.4.
