Nonsense.

I have an application that builds mp3 playlists. I specify the
root directory of the mp3 file tree on the command line, the Ada code
searches within that directory for mp3 files to add to a playlist.

I said "typically". A command-line application for maintenance of
playlists, which does not support file browsing by is by no means typical.
