There is no guarantee that this will be used in this way.-)

That is true and every example was a good example. But there is a little risk 
that you got lazy if you don't document what you have done and than including a 
complete directory with a lot of files could end in a bugreport where people 
search a longer time because no one is thinking that it was "simple mistake". 
That is all what i want to say and myself wouldn't have a problem with it.

See you, Attila
