No, the code here is fine, and I think chiding people for writing
perfectly find code is counterproductive. It's not what I'd put in a
general library meant for redistribution, but nobody has any obligation
to write code on any particular form for their own usage.
Besides, `expand-file-name' has annoying corner cases, and Emacs should
really grow a variation that's actually sound and reliable instead of
the current DWIM-ish mess. For instance, the following loop might
signal an error:
(dolist (file (directory-files "/tmp/"))
(unless (string-match "^/tmp" (expand-file-name file "/tmp"))
(error "boom")))
while
(dolist (file (directory-files "/tmp/"))
(unless (string-match "^/tmp" (format "/tmp/%s" file))
(error "boom")))
never will. To see the difference, say
$ touch "/tmp/~$USER"
first.
