you'll see my code already has TODOs in there for that.  windows API documentation suggests that windows returns even more (stat-like) info when traversing a directory.  returning a namedtuple with the relevant info from the platform at hand would be good.

I'd prefer to iterate on the code and get this working as is first, then update it to support returning the full details, namedtuple or otherwise.  perhaps via an os.scandir vs os.scandirfull or something.  I'd like to keep the ability to return just the names: no need to spend time building up the tuples that'll be discarded by the os.listdir compatibility code.
