Introduce FileType, a class consisting of a name and a parent property, designed to make the information FileContext.stat() provides about a path-addressable object richer. A FileType property goes as ftype into the StatResult structure. Along with it, this commit adds a central registry (FileTypes) where the type hierarchy is kept, and additional parameters to put() and mkdir() to allow creating typed FileContext objects. Builtin types are: - FT_REG: A regular file, the default thing put() creates - FT_DIR: A directory, the default thing mkdir() creates - FT_TOP: The parent of the two - FT_COMPOUND: An FT_REG returning child entries from readdir() Signed-off-by: Jan Lindemann <jan@janware.com> Assisted-by: unsloth/Qwen3.8-27B-GGUF:Q4_K_M with pi.dev v1.0.1
