Re: filesets

[Richard Stallman <rms@gnu.org>]

    I know that speaking of `the list of marked files' is longer than
    speaking of `filesets'.  That is bad.  However, the word `list' has
    specific meaning in Lisp.  It is good to express it.

At the user level, a fileset is a collection of files,
collection in an abstract sense, not a Lisp object.
To speak of a "list of files" would put in a false trail.

I am not sure how bad this confusion would be in practice.
Maybe it is acceptable.

"Set of files" would be more like it; it's the same concept as
"fileset", but by swapping the words around we would avoid the
implication that it is the same as the "fileset" discussed in
another section.
