I suggested that pg_ls_tmpdir should show shared filesets like

Should it have an extra column for the parent dir (null for nonshared filesets).
Maybe it would only show 1) files; and, 2) parents named
pgsql_tmp[0-9.]+.sharedfileset; and maybe, 3) files directly underneath (2).

Or should it require an argument to show them? pg_ls_tmpdir(sharedfileset=False)

That allows enumerating an entire directory and its subdirs, except hidden
files, and probably except files more than one level deep. I guess pg_ls_dir
already allows that.

Actually, my suggestion would be to make pg_ls_tmpdir expose "isdir", same as
pg_stat_file.

That's already possible using pg_ls_dir:

postgres=# SELECT name, s.size, s.modification, s.isdir FROM (SELECT 'base/pgsql_tmp'p)p, pg_ls_dir(p)name, pg_stat_file(p||'/'||name)s;
name | size | modification | isdir
--------------------------------+------+------------------------+-------
pgsql_tmp11025.0.sharedfileset | 4096 | 2019-12-07 01:35:56-06 | t

pg_tmpdir() might return (name,size,modtime), or perhaps
(name,isdir,size,modtime), which would be more likely to cause deliberate
breakage if someone assumed that record[1] was the size and rest of result was
same...
