How about obscure?	[reply]

Is `-d` obscure? It's documented in the same place as `-d`. It's only used by `-d` and siblings. And it should be used just about everywhere `-d` is needed.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

How many places do you see '-d'? How many places do you see '_'? '-d' stands for directory. '_' stands for ??? -d is the same as the unix file test, '_' is the same as ???. It might be easy for you to remember things like this, bit it isn't for me. I guarantee you, in a week if you showed me `-d(_)` I'll have to look it up. And who wants to do that? Where is this code running? Is the performance that important? Is `-d $filename` so much slower? --Pileofrogs	[reply] [d/l] [select]
