Description

This issue proposes adding the following methods:

  • Paths::files(self) -> Files: returns an iterator of only file types.
  • Paths::dirs(self) -> Dirs: returns an iterator of only directory types.

In both cases, symlinks are resolved as either files or dirs and returned as the original paths.

If you approve I can implement this.

Research direction

Start by locating the Paths type and its existing iterator behavior. Check how matched paths and symlinks are classified, then implement the files and dirs iterators so they preserve original paths and verify their behavior with the project's existing tests.
