Comment (by alan ruttenberg):

 For the resolve-pathnames nil case, why not return

 (map 'list #"getName" (#"listFiles" (new 'file
 "/Users/alanr/repos/iop/")))

 post-filtered for any :wilds

 and

 (#"isFile" (new 'file "/Users/alanr/repos/iop/.#compare-queries.lisp"))
 -> nil

 to test for symbolic links? (or at least files that one might try to
 resolve as symbolic links)
 The irony of the nil result does not escape me :)

 This is java 1.6
