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
