Maybe. I merely want directory_iterator in a recursive variant. I agree that
I should
check for a directory myself, so my file_only etc is not important. The
depth_first etc
thing could be added later; however, as I understood it, we can not
guarantee the traversal order.
That is also fine, I just think of it as a utility to visit all files in a
path.
