> As such the cleanup in case of failure should not be expected,
Given that the documentation specifically calls out permissions errors as a
cause of leaving the new directory in place, it wouldn't be unreasonable for
someone to think the function does a cleanup step on failure using the same
pruning process on the target directory.
In fact, that scenario is the one scenario I can think of that makes how the
note is written make sense -- the cleanup step not having permissions to remove
the intermediate directories it just created ("This function can fail with the
new directory structure made if you lack permissions needed to remove the leaf
directory or file [just created]").
