   The directory method uses a string as parameter. But you can

   files.pathmap("%d").each{ |name| directory name}

   Precisely. That's what I'm suggesting is the deficiency. FileLists are the core primitive of rake. It's how file tasks are generated. directory itself is a wrapper for file tasks. It's incongruent for some file tasks to accept FileLists but not others.
