matz@ruby-lang.org [mailto:matz@ruby-lang.org] asked humbly:

or :parents
>=> true perhaps?Hmm, do you want to have
FileUtils.mkdir path, :recurse => true
or to be unix like, FileUtils.mkdir path, :parents => true #man mkdir 1
in addition to independent mkdir_p method?
you may deprecate it =) 
How come?
1. simplify,
a. I only need to remember mkdir (in fact, I do not need to remember)
b. mkdir_p is just mkdir w -p option, so why create another name/method?
2. I do not like mkdir_p name. I am surprise -but not good. If it is a good
surprise, I'd like to think why you think so... this is just nuby question,
so pls forgive in advance..
matz.
