So, here's my alternative proposal: add an "ensure_lstat" flag to
scandir() itself, and don't have *any* methods on DirEntry, only
attributes.
That would make the DirEntry attributes:
is_dir: boolean, always populated
is_file: boolean, always populated
is_symlink boolean, always populated
lstat_result: stat result, may be None on POSIX systems if
ensure_lstat is False
(I'm not particularly sold on "lstat_result" as the name, but "lstat"
reads as a verb to me, so doesn't sound right as an attribute name)
