Yes, a "Return me an array of all of the items in this directory, sorted
into alphabetical order". Even better would be an option to do the recursion
for you, too.

On the flip side, this does get into the realms of "that's what libraries
are for" and I can see with blocking I/O why the API tries to split the job
into multiple calls.
