The difference to today is that VFS will allow you to try to enumerate even on files where it thinks it is a file or virtual. And only if the underlaying library throws an exception the operation will fail. What I'd like to open up is just to ignore what VFS thinks about a file and try to read it anyway. This should make it possible to also deal with special files and also hidden files which will look like a virtual file for VFS - and make VFS unable to handle them today. On filesystem level than (through our FileSystemOptions) it might be interesting to allow to disable the file-type determination at all which will make ftp access a lot faster, even if some file informations are missing then. But polling a ftp directory for new files will be as fast as when using plain ftp then.
