For example, the `os::fpathconf` approach will be a lot less clear because it won't be obvious to _anyone_ that we're just returning -1 all the time, or what the consequences is for the reported dirent struct size on Windows. The forked dirent-size-function is not elegant, and adds API bloat, and still requires a forked file, albeit a much smaller one.

How about `os::dirent_size`?
