I have done some searching in the source tree myself now. There are no
problems in the C code, but in the lisp code I have found more that 10
files that expects UID to be numeric. It may be true that all of them
can be changed to use names rather than ids, but it requires more work
than I can handle myself. Therefore I suggest we introduce an additional
argument to file-attributes and directory-files-and-attributes.
