It would not hurt, but it can be confusing. The first mkdir() will
create three directories, the top one being "XnameDir". That one will
then add a deferred call to "delete('XnameDir', 'rf')".
The second mkdir() will find that "XnameDir" already exists and only
creates a directory below it. The deferred delete() call when then only
delete what was created, thus "XnameDir" itself won't be affected.
This may seem a bit complicated, but it is required for something like:
mkdir('include/temp', 'pR')
To delete the while "include" directory, while it only created the
"temp" directory inside it. It's a lot safer to only delete what was
created.
