/*! Synchronous File I/O

This module provides a set of functions and traits for working
with regular files & directories on a filesystem.

At the top-level of the module are a set of freestanding functions,
associated with various filesystem operations. They all operate
on a `PathLike` object.

All operations in this module, including those as part of `FileStream` et al
block the task during execution. Most will raise `std::rt::io::{io_error,read_error}`
conditions in the event of failure.

Also included in this module are the `FileInfo` and `DirectoryInfo` traits. When
`use`'d alongside a value whose type implements them (A `std::path::Path` impl is
a part of this module), they expose a set of functions for operations against
a given file location, depending on whether the path already exists. Whenever
possible, the `{FileInfo, DirectoryInfo}` preserve the same semantics as their
free function counterparts.
