Hi, Can you provide examples of use-cases that would require something like that? files() returns a Traversable, which is a subset of pathlib.Path (in practice, if the module exists on the filesystem it would actually be a pathlib.Path instance), which you can use to access the data. as_file() exists because needing a file on the file system is sort of common, but from my experience the same is not true for directories. While I can see the value in what you propose, I worry it is not a common enough use-case. Some code examples would definitely help out here. Cheers, Filipe Laíns
