Please note the fashion in which <function>Directory::read</function>'s
return value is checked in the example below. We are explicitly
testing whether the return value is identical to (equal to and of
the same type as - see <link linkend="language.operators.comparison">
Comparison Operators</link> for more information) &false; since
otherwise, any directory entry whose name evaluates to &false; will
stop the loop.
