Perhaps a 'tag' composed of file externals?

Close, but not exactly. A vtable could be compared to an abstract class;
each of the four RA libraries (ra_local for file://, ra_svn for svn*://,
ra_neon and ra_serf for http://) implements that vtable. (We also use
vtables in other places, e.g., between libsvn_fs and libsvn_fs_*.)

In practice, every library defines all vtable members, so it's
s/can override/must define/.
