[Chicken-hackers] [PATCH] Move some low-hanging fruit from posix.scm to file.scm

[Peter Bex]

Hi all,

The attached patch moves glob, find-files and delete-directory
from posix.scm to file.scm.  I also tried to move "directory",
and some of the "stat"-based file type predicates but that's
just too hairy to move, at least for now.

What should we do with ##sys#glob->regex?  I think it's useful
enough to expose to the user, which conveniently allows us to get
rid of the ##sys# prefix too.  But in which unit does it belong
the most?  Personally, I think file might make more sense, as
it's strictly not an irregex procedure, and it belongs with "glob".

On the other hand, it doesn't actually hit the file system; it's an
abstract operation over data-structures only, without any side effects.

Cheers,
Peter
