How would we know?  Maybe someone will ask for that directory to
be named differently.  Maybe someone will discover that some
other files are needed in the current directory.  Maybe we

It's simple to implement and it's cleaner to use.

It also shows a good example of an interface we would both like
to see in many other tools.
