I will start working on the Files method implementation. Once I complete  
reasonable amount of work with all tests, I will let you all know.

Thanks.

There are a lot of methods in File that need to be implemented. That  
should be a reasonable place to start. We have some bugs in Dir#glob  
that could use some attention too.

If you want a good self-contained project that will take some time, take  
a look at implementing #pack and #unpack.

Thanks,
