Title: [RFC] alternative approach to stat interface, using native julia 'Stat' type

With timholy's latest work on the stat interface making this much easier to write, I've attempted to put together an alternative interface to stat that moves everything directly into a julia type in the call to stat. This increases the amount of work the initial call to stat must do, but simplifies later access.
