If you are going to release things to mailing lists (especially this one), you are going to have to stop acting so personally offended that people bring up problems that are outside of the domain you were expecting. That your program shares the name as a standardised utility is a perfectly legitimate concern; acting like a small child when people try to help you out is not conducive to good relations with others. This is a mailing list, this isn't a "talk about what I want to talk about" list. There is very little that irritates me more than people who reject feedback after explicitly asking for it. > Could we focus on the merit of the utility? I cannot imagine any period in time where this would have been useful for me over a simple `set -- * && echo "$#"', but whatever floats your boat. Dependencies are much more costly than a small amount of time saved (and dirs with >100k files are very niche).
