[armedbear-devel] some questions about r12503

The separate pathname matcher for jars looks odd to me. I'd expect the listing to give whatever it gives, and the matching condition in directory.lisp to filter it. Is jar filtering so different that it requires a different matcher?

Same question applies to the wildcard matching, jar listing seems to do the wildcard matching in java, rather than in lisp? That's also different from the way directory listings are handled.

The list-directory primitive sorely needs to be split into two functions (listJar and listDirectory), it's getting long-winded. That's not a high-priority issue, but we need to mind function length, it's a huge readability issue.
