Remove
PathBase.samefile()
, which is fairly specific to the local FS, and relies onstat()
, which we're aiming to remove fromPathBase
.Also remove
PathBase.is_mount()
,is_junction()
,is_block_device()
,is_char_device()
,is_fifo()
andis_socket()
. These rely on stat fields and POSIX file type numbers that we're aiming to remove from thePathBase
API.
