O.K. I'll do it. But my first task is to get a discussion going on the developer's list.

I'd want to see it decomposed into the following components:

1. A function which translates glob patterns into regexes

2. A filter_iterator adaptor which uses a regex matching function to match the paths from a directory_iterator

And a more descriptive, less jargon-ish name. ----------------- Jeff Flinn Applied Dynamics, International
