Could you give a few more details? What unexpected behaviour did you
encounter. As mentioned elsewhere it is fairly new and still rough
around the edges.
The main idea is that it is just a regular file with slightly different
default key bindings. Maybe it should be displayed in full size as well
(currently it only expands after pressing <Up>).

I do not like duplicating this shell functionality inside the editor.
The current source tree contains a `vis-open` shell script which
provides basic file system navigation by means of fuzzy matching using
either slmenu or dmenu. It is invoked by default if you open a directory
:split .
or supply a path containing other shell wildcards such as *, {, or [.
The other mentioned features (as well as the filter and search commands
or more generally any potentially long running task) require some sort
of async task framework which does not block the editor core while
communicating with the spell checker / code completer etc.
