I mentioned before that it's not too hard to make an iterative using dirent,
especially if you just call it directly yourself. You can see how it works by
doing:
IN: scratchpad \ (directory-entries) see
Nothing technical prevents it, only that right now the iteration is hidden
behind that word where it produces a list of entries.
In normal use, where a single directory doesn't have that many entries, this is
not a performance issue. But, like anything with software, if you have a
different use case we can adapt the code to it.
