Yes! I hope to have time to work on it next week and to
bring my find.scm in a usable state then. The code
basically works without problems.
Apart some code cleanup, the only open issue I really would
like to solve before the first "public release" is the
following.
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?
Other ideas are very briefly indicated in the TODO list of
`find.scm' (available form http://www.math.unifi.it/~maggesi/guile/):
;;; ------------------------------------------------------------------
;;; ToDo:
;;;
;;; - Support shell pattern matching.
;;; - Use hash table in `make-descend-subdir?'.
;;; - Error handling?
;;; - More predicates.
;;; - A `-prune' like predicate.
