-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
A whole lot of types are still missing from `System.Posix.Types` as noted
in a TODO comment in the code:
{{{
--- ToDo: blksize_t, clockid_t, blkcnt_t, fsblkcnt_t, fsfilcnt_t, id_t,
key_t
--- suseconds_t, timer_t, useconds_t
}}}
Specifically the lack of wrappers for blkcnt_t is causing trouble because
it's forcing HFuse to re-implement `unix`'s `FileStatus` type to include
the missing `st_blocks` field. See
[https://hackage.haskell.org/package/HFuse/docs/System-
Fuse.html#t:FileStat FileStat docs on Hackage].
I have patches for `base` and `unix` ready to add wrappers for all the
types the comment mentions, let's see if I can figure out how to use Phab
;)
