SYNOPSIS

# Abstract base class.

DESCRIPTION

A ``file'' within a Folder might be a real file on disk --- or it might be a RAM buffer. Similarly, delete() might delete a file from the file system, or a key-value pair from a hash, or something else.

The archetypal implementation of Folder, FSFolder, represents a directory on the file system holding a collection of files.
