Current state of the swift-system project?

well, for example, i’ve been needing some directory-related capabilities such as:

1. creating a directory (like mkdir)
2. iterating through files in a directory

but i don’t see anything related to that in the API roadmap (unless it’s being referred to by a name i don’t recognize).

I think those are covered by the future work on FilePath for operations that consult the file system:

• FilePath semantic (i.e. file-system interacting) operations
  • stat, chown, directory iteration, etc.
  • temporary files

The previous FilePath API review was for "syntactic operations" which don't need any system calls.
