 Options to control how `git_status_foreach_ext()` will issue callbacks.
 Matches the [`git_status_opt_t`](https://libgit2.github.com/libgit2/#HEAD/type/git_status_opt_t) struct.

+The fields represent:
+  * `version`: version of the struct in use, in case this changes later. For now, always `1`.
+  * `show`: a flag for which files to examine and in which order.
+    The default is `Consts.STATUS_SHOW_INDEX_AND_WORKDIR`.
+  * `flags`: flags for controlling any callbacks used in a status call.
+  * `pathspec`: an array of paths to use for path-matching. The behavior of the path-matching
+    will vary depending on the values of `show` and `flags`.
