ok, I'll believe you :)

when the default map_to_storage happens apache has done the filesystem stat
already, which means that over in perl-land we can query $r->finfo instead
of performing a stat on $r->filename and save another trip to disk.  it's
also required if you want to set $r->filename yourself and want to properly
interact with default_handler.
