Alternatively, we could simply have a full "dirent" attribute that is None on Windows. That would actually make sense at an implementation level anyway - is_file() etc would check self.cached_lstat first, and if that was None they would check self.dirent, and if that was also None they would raise an error. Construction of a dir_entry would require either a stat object or a dirent object, but complain if it received both.
