Yes, but this can be made cross-platform fairly easily, just like the
other method calls. Just like DirEntry.stat() has different
cross-platform operation (no stat call on Windows, a stat call on
POSIX), DirEntry.inode() would have a different operation (stat call
on Windows, no stat call on POSIX).
