Law of Demeter violations are something we need _less_ of in the codebase, not more. My naïve example is almost certainly not the right solution, but I still don't like pulling out a _marked private_ dict from inside an object just so that you can complete filenames faster.

Could we just add an accessor to dirstate for the unsorted map keys?
