Well, if they mix log files and non-log files in the same directory, we

.. which is what pg_logdir_ls does. And it's robust against filenames
that don't have valid dates too; imagine postgresql-2005-01-01_crash1.log.
The proposed version of pg_logdir_ls could not be called "robust" in any
way at all, considering that it fails as soon as you modify the log_filename
pattern.
This is caused by the exposure of log_filename, I never proposed to do
that for good reasons. Any try to interpret it and read files back will
break finally when log_filename is changed at runtime, i.e. it's a
'break me' option by design.
