As a Windows user I'm not familiar with fts (and Google didn't come up
with anything obvious). So I'm not sure how true "people could look up
generic docuimentation" would be in practice. But from your
description it may be useful - I presume it's something that could be
built as a 3rd party library based on os.scandir, at least as an
initial proof of concept?
