How much of the interface are you talking about? :-)
Making these private and calling the accessors `file()` and `type()` is easy of
course, and consistency is nice.
Supporting status() with similar semantics+performance is both complicated
and... not a good idea, I think. See the other patch where I added a comment
like "this interface is wrong" and didn't fix it :-)
The other random functions on fs::directory_entry seem like random
implementation cruft to me.
