Directory datatype, browsing directories as plain text.
Contents are updated if directory is changed.

Main features include:
- Now supports progressive loading of data
  (e.g. the datatypes.library V45 features
  "progressive loading and display"

- Matches (in most parts) my "DataTypes" proposal.

- Preferences file

- Filtering (like List/RequestFile)/(on demand):
  NOICONS
  PATTERN
  ACCEPTPATTERN
  REJECTPATTERN

- fs notification support (updates automatically on source change)

- UID/GID/user access flags/group access flags support (on demand)

- ENVOY filesystem support: converts uid/gid numbers into "real" names

- DataTypes file type recognition (on demand):
  directory.datatype shows the file type and class

- amigaguide.datatype support (on demand)
  Double-clicks on the filename will cause AmigaGuide to link to
  the specified object.

- Markable contents (DTM_SELECT/DTM_CLEARSELECTED)
