KFileInfo is really an internal class of the file dialog. It's just a
container
that is passed from the engine (KDir) to the view (KFileInfoContents). I
see
no real reason to change this.
And still: kfile and kio have two completly different goals. But if kio
would
be fast enough, some code in kfile could be removed with equivalent kio
calls.
