Add the file and frontmatter modules to the tfile prototype?

[DanielJMaxwell]

It seems odd that once you access a tfile object you can't then access functions of the file and frontmatter modules that would allow to manipulate it.

For example: if you use 'tp.config.active_file' to get the calling file, you can't then access its frontmatter. You might expect to be able to use a syntax like: 'tp.config.active_file.frontmatter.tags' to fetch details about the file from which the template is called, but currently can't, as far as I can tell.

I don't want to add anything to the TFile prototype since that comes straight from Obsidian. I suppose we could add our own abstraction layer, but I frankly don't have time to do something like that, especially given some of the complexities of updating frontmatter when functions such as tp.file.include are considered.

It is preferred to use Obsidian APIs for interacting with frontmatter, such as app.metadataCache.getFileCache and app.fileManager.processFrontMatter.
