Listing a directory using the file system session

[Emery Hemingway]

Hello Martijn,

The File_system client in the VFS library is the only example that I can think of
for reading directory entries. I would recommend using the VFS library rather than
using a File_system session directly, the library is easier to use and this would
give you a lot more power for free, such as merging the same directory present in
multiple File_system sessions.

Cheers,
Emery Hemingway

Amongst other, I studied the File_system::Session and file_system/utils.h but cannot find a hook to get started. I see that reading the directory nodes is supported -> this returns the Directory_entry struct with information about the directory itself, but not about the nodes the directory contains (right?). Is there a way retrieve the latter?
