I think the posix unit should be changed, Felix.  This is a patch to make
file-stat return a 13-element vector, where the last four elements are
st_dev, st_rdev, st_blksize, and st_blocks.  Other systems may have other
elements, but these four are present in Posix; st_dev and st_rdev date
right back to 7th Edition times, and st_blksize and st_blocks to 4.1BSD.
Unless someone actually checks the returned length, this will be entirely
backward-compatible.

I'll add this - thanks for the patch.


cheers,
felix
