I think that means I should use
Files-Directories : FileDirectory : fullNamesOfAllFilesInSubtree
and store the collection as I walk through the files processing them 
rather than use what Python would call a generator.

Do you know whether when reading a utf8 file the BOM is recognized? Or 
do I need write a handler to strip it off?
