Create complex directory structures

Since version 0.10.0 one can create complex directory structures quite easily: $root = vfsStream::create($structure); Assumed $structure contains an array like this:

array('Core' = array('AbstractFactory' => array('test.php'    => 'some text content',
                                                'other.php'   => 'Some more text content',
                                                'Invalid.csv' => 'Something else',
                                          ),
                     'AnEmptyFolder'   => array(),
                     'badlocation.php' => 'some bad content',
               )
)

the resulting directory tree will look like this:

root
\- Core
 |- badlocation.php
 |- AbstractFactory
 | |- test.php
 | |- other.php
 | \- Invalid.csv
 \- AnEmptyFolder

Arrays will become directories with their key as directory name, and strings becomes files with their key as file name and their value as file content.

If you need to modify other file or directory properties (especially permissions) please resort to the default API, this method is meant to create large structures more easily.
