Contributions summary:Izaak contributed significantly to the `memory-fs` project by implementing core functionalities and refactoring existing code. They added methods like `exists`, `existsSync`, `createReadStream`, and `createWriteStream` to align the in-memory file system with the standard Node.js `fs` module. They also refactored code to use a common `meta` function and incorporated `readable-stream` for consistent stream API usage. Furthermore, they improved testing and addressed errors to match the behavior of the standard `fs` module.
