One explanation is that isBlah asks "is this thing a blah", but we're not asking that because there is an indirection via the filepath. We're asking "does this filepath refer to a directory" not "is this filename a directory". The latter could be a function:
isDirectory :: FileInfo -> Bool
along with a hypothetical
getFileInfo :: FilePath -> IO FileInfo
Hypothetical?
import System.Posix.Files (getFileStatus, isDirectory)
Yeah, if we could make a standard portable variant of this, that'd be great. Duncan
