At this point I'm not sure if it will be best to implement this change
to stat_result in C or Python, so I'm not sure if I can us your new stat
code.

I noted with interest that the thread you linked to advocated that the
stat module should be deprecated, and in a way that is what my PEP here
does - at least in the sense of providing an alternative.
