The info section Recursive Pattern: _accumulate_ states:
'This is very like the 'every' pattern using 'cons', except that
'cons' is not used, but some other combiner.'
The example link 'Making a List of Files' uses cons to accumulate a list
of files.
The recursive function call (which is what the section "Recursive
Patterns" is about) in files-in-below-directory uses "append", not cons.
cons happens to be used elsewhere in the function. It says right before
the files-in-below-directory definition that it uses "append".
So personally speaking I don't find it confusing.
