Indeed! This may actually motivate me to start working on a redesign of walkdir at some point, with scandir and DirEntry objects as the basis. My original approach was just too slow to be useful in practice (at least when working with trees on the scale of a full Fedora or RHEL build hosted on an NFS share).
