Why would we want dirs to be handled differently? Surely, we want the behaviour to be "as expected" as possible, and if file export behaves differently to directory export... that's not so good.
Also, does this work as intended when using externals? I recall trying to export directories using externals to the same location on the filesystem and finding that each external wiped the target before copying the files (imagine you have several C modules and want to export all the headers from each of them to a single include directory, as an example of what I was trying to achieve).
