I do accept and see some benefit in the method you've chosen, but the
"arbritrariness" of the names I guess is what worries me the most.  It's much
harder to think up long descriptive names that accurately capture the intent. 
create_missing_directories probably stands out for that reason - what missing
directories? And does it fail if there are no directories to create? etc. etc.
