* Sorting: I suggest to have the default behavior support the naive user. Which means to do sorting by default, so that the output in the sequential case is intuitively predictable.
Sorting for the parallel case does not make much sense to me. I vote for keeping the serial and parallel iterators' interfaces the same, and have the parallel iterator issue a run-time error when sorting is requested. * I like the idea of an argument which directories to exclude. This made me think about rsync's options --include and --exclude, each of which can occur multiple times. E.g. exclude both .svn and .git, or only include *.chpl files. To implement that in Chapel, short of having glob() parse an option string, we could have glob() accept any iterable thing for each argument. * I suggest that glob() would go multi-locale only when supplied an array of target locales, like a domain map. * I thought of "find" as an alternative for the name "glob", however I am not sure it's better. In that light, "glob" makes sense to me.
