1) On Windows directories can have custom icons. Not 100% sure about other
platforms.

2) Directories have at least "last modification" timestamp which is needed
for the detailed view mode. What approach is better -- get all information
at once or quickly get names, deferring timestamp retrieval until the user
switches to the detailed view -- is questionable though.
