Looks like you are still correct. I'm still looking at the desire for useful
traversal of a filesystem.

I do not see sorting as a solution. I really do not care if the dir is before
the file. What is useful is recieving all children before traversing children.
I usually end up ignoring directories anyway. So I'm thinking your origional
suggestion for childrenFirst and parentFirst is actuall what is useful and does
not need too abide by actual traversal rules, only usefulness.
