Yes, and real programmers do not eat quiche either.

For the Solaris comment, maybe I'm mistaken, maybe it was
Linux that could not open/read directories, I do not remember. 

open()/read()'ing directories was never portable, even in the ranks of
"real" Unix.  Or perhaps depending on the filesystems it is not permitted it.

You don't like opendir() and its friends *dir() ?
