So? Generate a text-delta-ref. It's cheap. You don't have to use it
later.

I didn't design this interface, but my guess is that it's for
redundancy. By passing dir and file batons around, the consumer can
check that the producer is in fact not confused about where it is in
the tree.

You're right that it allows an arbitrarily messy sequence of
calls, and it could be more constrained.

Okay, go ahead. Let me know if you don't want to finish it.
