Currently `find' and `find-fold' have a different behavior
with respect to the order in which they process a directory
and its files:
- `find' process each directory before its contents;
- `find-fold' process each directory after its contents.
Perhaps this is the right thing, but I suspect this can be
confusing for the users in some situations. What do you
think about that?
yeah, this inconsistency would confuse me. looks like find(1) shows
directories before contents:
$ find ~/tmp -print
/home/ttn/tmp
/home/ttn/tmp/linux-2.4.0.tar.gz
/home/ttn/tmp/linux-2.4.0.tar.gz.sign
/home/ttn/tmp/ml-admin.babyl
/home/ttn/tmp/oops.san-jose-cager.babyl
/home/ttn/tmp/conferences.babyl
/home/ttn/tmp/AB-displacement.babyl
probably a good idea to mimic find(1) to minimize conceptual discord and
disharmony. :->
