    % general_foldl2(Params, Pred, DirName, Data0, Data, Errors, !IO).
    %
    % A generalised version of the above, whose behavior is controlled
    % by setting up Params.
    %
    % Whether we recursively process subdirectories depends on whether
    % the fp_subdirs field of Params is do_not_enter_subdirs or enter_subdirs.
    % If it is do_not_enter_subdirs, then we do not process subdirectories
    % at all. If it is enter_subdirs, then we process subdirectories depth
    % first. The traversal is preorder, meaning that we call Pred on the
    % pathname of a subdirectory *before* we process the contents of that
    % subdirectory.
    %
    % Whether we recursively process subdirectories referenced by symlinks
    % depends on the first argument of enter_subdirs.
    %
    % When we encounter an error, such as a failure to open a directory
    % for reading, we record that error, but what happens after that
    % depends on the fp_on_error field of Params. If this field is
    % on_error_stop, then we stop the traversal, which means that
    % with on_error_stop, we will return at most one error.
    % If it is on_error_keep_going, we continue with the traversal after
    % errors, which means that with on_error_keep_going, we can return
    % more than one error.
    %
    % Regardless of the setting of fp_on_error, we stop the traversal
    % if Pred returns Continue = `no'.
    %
    % In all cases, the value of Data will reflect the results of all
    % the invocations of Pred during the traversal up to the time
    % the traversal was stopped either by an error, by Continue = `no',
    % or by running out of files to traverse.

    % Implement brace expansion, as in sh: return the sequence of strings
    % generated from the given input string. Throw an exception if the
    % input string contains mismatched braces.
    %
    % The following is the documentation of brace expansion from the sh manual:
    %
    %   Brace expansion is a mechanism by which arbitrary strings may be
    %   generated. This mechanism is similar to pathname expansion, but the
    %   filenames generated need not exist. Patterns to be brace expanded
    %   take the form of an optional preamble, followed by a series of
    %   comma-separated strings between a pair of braces, followed by an
    %   optional postscript. The preamble is prefixed to each string contained
    %   within the braces, and the postscript is then appended to each
    %   resulting string, expanding left to right.
    %
    %   Brace expansions may be nested. The results of each expanded string
    %   are not sorted; left to right order is preserved. For example,
    %   a{d,c,b}e expands into `ade ace abe'.
