Description
depends on the underlying platforms and/or filesystems, it can be very expensive to provide dirent::d_ino.
i'd suggest to make it optional.
eg. allow a wasi implementation to say it unknown in a way similar to filetype.unknown.
how do you think?

Research direction
Start by reviewing dirent::d_ino and filetype.unknown in the WASI interface, then compare the referenced posix.c implementation at lines 2101-2105. Define the desired unknown representation and its platform and filesystem behavior before identifying affected tests; done means the interface and implementation agree on optional inode values.
