While writing the doc string to all the functions, it struck me that it
would be kinda nice if the definition of the function would be something
like
(defun file-attribute-size (elem)
...
(if (stringp file)
(nth 7 (file-attributes elem))
(nth 7 elem)))
That is, the functions would accept both a string and a file attribute
list, and do the obvious thing in either case.
What do you think?
