I think OMO had a sensible approach there with "the files of " or so.

Would probably be useful to ponder how one could implement this in an asynchronous way. A path could point to a mounted server sitting halfway across the globe, which takes a while to give us a file list, or a folder could contain thousands of files and take long to list due to that. But we don't want to make the API too nerdy.
