We long ago handled that one, but we did not make a new directory,
but a file that contains all optional routines.  That file is used
by all existing directories.  However, it is a much larger job to
catch all other occurrances of where similar named routines do similar
jobs slightly differently, but that also is on our list and we slowly
tackle it.
