ls(1) isn't relevant. find(1) is. grep(1) is. There are others. |

Using the 'package managers' isn't very helpful. They generally do |
| 9 |
everything poorly. And usually **s*l*o*w*l*y**, if they compile at |
| 10 |
all. |

I can't even remember every time I've needed to use a regex, glob or |
| 13 |
other pattern match where the fact that the real categories had a dash |
| 14 |
made things easier and faster. |

Its been way too many years to change that now. |

Much better to standardize it as m/[a-z0-9]+-[a-z0-9]+/. |
