Now this suggests that the OSX implementation does not generally enumerate in
alphabetical order, but probably enumerates in the order that the filesystem
provides things.
In which case, encouraging developers to depend on an alphabetic order
enumeration in GNUstep would be incompatible with OSX and reduce portability
... a bad thing.
So, I'm marking this bug as invalid/closed. However, if the original
submitter can confirm that the OSX behavior is to enumerate in alphabetical
order on all filesystems (ie with a good test at least on UFS and network
mounted (windows) filesystems where the files are known to be stored in a
non-alphabetical order) then we can re-open it.
