Ok, directories need indicating

In  my quest  for  making  the Gopher  client  display logically  I
suggested  that displaying  filetype  acronyms before  the URI  was
worthless because:

(1) neither the gopher server  nor the client obeys existing gopher
selectors 
(2) there simply aren't enough selectors to cover all the
existing filetypes 
(3) modern clients wind up using mime types anyway

Well I found there's at  least one caveat, directories. Not knowing
wether  a gopher  link  is  a file  or  directory isn't  ergonomic,
Directories need to be indicated, see how I've implemented this in
Chawan (other gopher clients might not give you this possibility):
