It's entirely likely I'm missing something here, but isn't the intent of
this pretty much
db:create("DB", file:list($dir, true(), $fname), ())
where that third param to db:create lets you remap the path if required?
At which point the use case becomes db:open('DB')/*/@version => distinct-values() => sort()
In general, I don't want to have to think about files; it's great that
the file module is there for those occasions where this cannot be
avoided, but in general I want the XML loaded into a database (where
someone with much better test cases has written the functions!) much
more than I want to think about file system details.
What am I missing?
