Should vscode.workspace.fs.stat API return all content providered by User-defined FileSystem provider

[yiliang114]

I use vscode.FileSystemProvider interface when I develop a VS Code Extension. I have implemented the stat function, which inherits vscode.FileStat and contains some additional attributes. But when I used vscode.workspace.fs.stat to try to get the extra properties I injected, I found that I didn't get them.

Should vscode.workspace.fs.stat API return all content providered by User-defined FileSystem provider Instead of returning only the following attributes?

extHostFileSystemConsumer Stat

We don't do that because we want the API to work as advertised - meaning neither more nor less than spec'd. Otherwise (other) extensions would become dependent on a specific implement extension of another extensions and that would defeat the purpose of the API in the first place
