Good idea, thanks. I could not get original to compile as is -

I'm using a quite recent version of dmd and phobos.
hmm strange... I'm using 2.060 (on a mac),
But, I pulled the lamda out into a function and it works great.
I assume the parallel is for performance, and it actually runs
significantly slower than without on my test case - but no work
is being done other than build the list of files, so that is
probably normal. For my case the breakdown is:
No Pruning: 11 sec
Pruning Parallel: 4.78 sec
Pruning Serial: 0.377 sec
Thats cool.
Yea I thought parallel would make a big difference (in the
positive sense) for large directories, but I guess if we are
recursively spawning parallel tasks, the overhead involved starts
accumulating, resulting in worse performance (my best guess
anyway).
