Re: [AD] Splitting filesystem APIs

I didn't check the reasons to change the api (I only read quickly over 
them).

But when reading this discussion there was one question that popped up 
in my mind (probably totally unrelated to this discussion):
Will a zip file or (or any container which can contain files and 
directories) be a directory or a file?

Another thing that I came up with is this. I think it would be pretty 
neat to do something like this (pseudo code)

entry_list = get_all_entries_from_dir(dir);
foreach(entry in entry_list)
{
   if (entry is file)
      //do something with a file
   else if (entry is dir)
      // do something with dir
}

Will there be a way to do something like this after the change?
If not, it would not be to bad. Just would like to know if something 
like this will be possible after the change.

I have no opinion on which way is better, yet. Both have pros and cons.
Just wanted to ask this questions.
