-----------------------------------
Hi [~mapohl] ,
I looked into some references to this method and suggest it would be better to
throw a FileNotFoundException instead of simply returning a null value, by
doing which the code would be null safe. Correct me if I am wrong.
> FileSystem.listFiles is not implemented consistently
