I think I am far enough along to see why this is potentially a bad idea.

I have long known I was following bad practice with this...but here it is said that find is no better. Looks like at least some of the common wisdom is to use a glob ( for f in * , etc)

Of course, it looks like many of these types are specifically meant to circumvent symlinks and hidden files, which are at least half of what we look to operate on at times. So pitfalls abound and perhaps working code ought to get preferential treatment.

I have begun this...but instead of find, I have found globbing to be the best thing. This is used in all the 3.1 update, ongoing.
