Clojure wrapper for java.nio.file

nio.file's Issues

posix-file-permissions returns java.util.Hashset

If I read posix-file-permissions correctly it returns a java.util.HashSet. This caught me by surprise when I was trying to conj another permission to it. I guess I expected a clojure set. This might be more idiomatic.

I'd rather do

(conj (nio/posix-file-permissions dir) (nio/posix-file-permission :group-write))

instead of

(doto (nio/posix-file-permissions dir) (.add (nio/posix-file-permission :group-write)))

Functionality for deleting and copying directories

I'm trying to migrate my code from me.raynes.fs away to this library. First off because it seems to be better maintained but also because it is based on modern Java APIs. The last functionality that has no equivalent in nio.file are the functions delete-dir and copy-dir. I understand that you do not want this to be a utility library. This however will foster a copy and paste culture based of your walkthrough.clj. I have already implemented a delete-dir based on your example and some inspiration from the ant delete task so that it would work for nfs mounted directories. I will have to implement a tree walker for copying.

For now, I guess, we can put this code in walkthrough.clj (expect some pull requests) but I think in the long run this should be included maybe in a separate namespace.
