 	Hi all.  I know we usually run on forgiveness instead of permission, 
but I'm suggesting a big change (or extension, anyway), so I wanted to run the 
ideas by you all before I put the effort in.  If I don't get feedback, I'll 
just make the changes.
 	The first thing I wanted to suggest was that in S16, the OS-specific 
stuff be split out into separate roles.  I suspect this is mostly 
non-controversial, so I'll do that unless someone complains.
 	My second thought is that we need to specify tree objects (see 
https://www.mail-archive.com/perl6-language@perl.org/msg28579.html ).  I'll put 
them in S16 unless someone complains.
 	My third thought is that it would be very useful also to have 
date/time objects that integrate well with eg. ctime, mtime, and the like; I'd 
start with Time::Piece as a model.
https://search.cpan.org/dist/Time-Piece/Piece.pm
 	My final question is, since people are now getting somewhat familiar 
with the "file:" URI scheme (ie. file:/home/wayland/Notes.txt or 
file:/C/Documents and Settings/wayland/Notes.txt or whatever), I'm wondering 
if this isn't how we should be specifying our files; it's prettier than 
File::Spec :), and unified.
 	Anyway, HTH,
