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.
