Save that anyone not truly a hierophant of the C++ temple would have trouble spelling it <g>. Not bad, but it's semantically similar to make_directories, in that it suggests that it might be creating multiple directories at the same level. Further, it seems to imply that it's always creating an entire tree of directories, and not necessarily just a single path of descent. Unless that's just a connotation I've managed to attach to the word. "Bicycleshedingly?" M'thinks t'will require ponderance. Anon.
