Anybody working with a C API that uses the stat structure will want
default_statto be accessible, since, as can be seen by the implementation of default_stat, all uses ofstatwithout it would need to be platform-specific.In this PR I have simply made it public--I would understand if there was a desire to put the public API somewhere else instead. (There is no reason it should be in
std::path.) Maybe an impl ofDefaultinstd::libcitself?
