You seem to think that including support for folders at the language level necessitates fully specifying some kind of standard file system, it doesn't.
They contain other items
Yes, that's the entire fucking point of a folder.
Can directories contain subdirectories?
The API doesn't care, that's for the filesystem to decide.
What about symbolic links?
The API doesn't care, that's for the filesystem to decide.
blah blah blah
As above.
Stop writing bullshit. If it's sensible to assume we have files, it's also sensible to assume we have folders -- you even make my point for me by posing ostensibly rhetorical questions about
files yourself! To wit, "Do hidden files begin with a "." or have an attribute?"
