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. I think would be better, because the result would be cleaner overall, if we changed all those ten files. Are there people who want to do that?
