Not a hard requirement, but I wish if we entirely ignored "." and
".." in our code (not just not counting, but making whoever calls
readdir() skip and call it again when it gets "." or "..").
https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/readdir.html
seems to imply that readdir() may not give "." or ".." (if dot or
dot-dot exists, you are to return them only once, which implies that
it is perfectly OK for dot or dot-dot to be missing).
So dropping the test for number of visited paths would be nicer from
portability's point of view ;-)
Thanks.
