This sheds their context. The linear sequence does not exist in a vacuum. It is a sequence of nodes that defines a path through a filesystem tree. When I think of a filesystem, I think of it as (a) root node(s), interior nodes, and leaf nodes. The fact that I'm only looking at a subset of them when dealing with a given path does not change what kind of node each is conceptually. In short, I like "leaf()".
My impression from earlier posts, and the path decomposition table in the docs, is that leaf is a bad name because it can return an interior node in the filesystem. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFINCdN5vihyNWuA4URAhlxAKDdBTyqqmqc5kHS/A7X9R7lM1ZMPwCg4axD +/X+25d3l1Wd4c51FSRwpes= =2oXy -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
