Directory enumeration

I'm doing some Directory enumeration.

The method "filesMatching: aPattern do: block" returns File objects
including files and directories.

The method "allFilesMatching: aPattern do: aBlock" only returns File
objects that are files. There are no directories in the enumeration.

The documentation doesn't say that the recursive method will only return
files and not return directories. Is this a bug or is it just the
documentation not up to date?

It would be great if in fact the recursive method returned files and
directories.

Thanks
Stephen

From NEWS for 2.95+:

o   Directory entries are passed to #allFilesMatching:do:'s block argument
    if they match aPattern.  As before, the function descends in all the
    directories, even those that do not match aPattern.

Which was done in response to an earlier request for the same thing.
