kazzmir aka Jon Rafkind (I think) suggested merging AL_FILE and AL_DIR into
AL_FSNode, and using the current stat api. Not a bad idea, but it still
inconvenient for users just wanting stat info. So, do we care about how
inconvenient it is? Is Jon's idea a good way to go? (I'm leaning towards it
atm).
