@pavel meanwhile: we got "rm" that removes files, being a fancy version of "unlink" that also removes files, but not fancy enough to just remove directories, there's "rmdir" for that. *yells at the cloud* *shriek*

@lkundrak @pavel actually, "rm" is able to remove directories; the magic option is "-r"…

@ptesarik @pavel not a good rmdir replacement, because it also removes the contents first
