gulp.src('**', {content:false})

Not everything needs the contents of the files. For example: gulp.src('/dist').pipe(gulp_rimraf()). As a user I'd like to specify when file contents are loaded so the process runs faster.

I think buffer: false and read: false would be good ideas. buffer true = fs.readFile, buffer false = fs.createReadStream, read false = no content at all.
