I think the current behaviour is correct. And we are limited in what
we can change in these situations. Would it break existing scripts?
Still, I like your patch. Would you consider submitting it so that it
can be turned on (off by default) via keyword? (i.e. a recurse=True
keyword). That would allow us to preserve the existing functionality,
but allow the user an API friendly way for this alternate recursive
behaviour?
Cheers,
Phil
