In both cases above I don't think there is anything special about
directories.  Everything is a file and all are the same.  [Except for
symlinks which are different.]  If you where symlinked to a file it
would be the same.  Therefore I would change "directory" to "file" or
perhaps to "file/directory" to be more explicit that directories are
files too.  It is really only symbolic links that are the special
case.  It does not matter the type of the target of the link.
