So, it seems like putting the method in the FileProvider interface is the right place for it?!

I also can imagine some providers having multiple instances (for example two ram filesystems). Today I think this can only be done with different schema prefix ram1: and ram2: or with having a instance in the fsoptions. But in both cases a enumeration of those different instances is not yet supported without the root getter.
