That sounds good, its just an oversight on my part, the patch makes
perfect sense to me. I'l apply it when I get the chance

FWIW, I'm planning to add API support for the documentation etc. features
at some point, I do the sub-path listing stuff allready. But, I'l make sure
I dont stomp on anything done explicitly by developers.
