feauture enhancement in rmdir

[Nico Schottelius]

Hello guys!

What about a simple paramter '-r' like rm ?

The -p options seems to be only senseful, if you can express

all the subdirectories. Imagine the following:

hello/a/b/c/a/d/f
hello/a/b/d/d
hello/a/b/e/a/a/a/a/a/a/

Howto remove hello completly with rmdir ?
I would suggest the -r flag to remove the directory and all
sub directories, if they are empty.

What do you think ?

Sincerly,

Nico Schottelius
