"""
 * Listing files in directories and subdirectories
 * inspired by an example by Daniel Shiffman.
 *
 * 1) List the names of files in a directory
 * 2) List the names along with metadata (size, lastModified)
 *        of files in a directory
 * 3) List the names along with metadata (size, lastModified)
 *        of files in a directory and all subdirectories (using recursion)
