We read them, we write them, we check if they are there, we iterate

directories. we move from relative to absolute paths and back again...

And I asked you to have a look... not more... it was dismissed as
bloat...

I think I have been robust enough.

I am just getting tired of such comments... it does not matter that
you only do it once, when everybody else does it once (or twice) as well...
