Greetings,

I can not remember if I ever officially opened an enhancement request against 
SysFileTree or not, however... ;-)

Some time ago I ran up against unhelpful behavior with SysFileTree on *nix and 
the "dotted 'hidden' file/directory concept".

I recall it being stated that a new switch would be required in order to 
produce a SysFileTree of ALLLLLL files/directories recursively WITHOUT ANY 
REGARD to "dotted 'hidden' files/directories".

As is, I must do four separate calls to SysFileTree and merge the stem outputs, 
to get a close representation. Once for each of the following:

Files *
Files .*
Dirs *
Dirs .*

And the catch is that it is not guaranteed to pick up dotted files several 
levels inside a dotted directory name, etc...

Since one enhancement to SysFileTree has recently been committed, with code 
fresh in the minds of developers, would an additional enhancement to really 
support ALLLLL files/directories/both be 
considered provided a new letter identifier option switch?

Doing so would at least produce consistent cross platform output between 
Windows and Linux, which I would be most appreciative of.

Sincerely,
