Does a `Directory` refer to its contents too?

I need to inject a `Provider&lt;Directory&gt;` into a downstream task, but I need that directory's files to be built (by an upstream `Task`)

my consumer task needs the files to exist, and I need the file path of the `Directory` as well

A directory is a directory is a directory. 
Whether you read only the directory path or it's contents is consumer topic.

Whether the provider has necessary task dependencies to build the directory and it's contents is provider topic.
