removeDirectoryRec recursively follows symlink directories and should not ?

[gst]

Hi,

it looks like removeDirectoryRec follow/enter directories symlinks.. which I think should better not be by default.

the issue is that there is no option to not follow/enter directories symlink.

Could we foresee to have/add such an option flag/bool to the function signature ?

I would be happy to contribute if that would be agreed

-void removeDirectoryRec() {
+void removeDirectoryRec(bool followSymlinks=false) {

...

        if (fh.isDirectory())
        {
+          if(fh.isSymbolicLink() && !followSymlinks)
+             fh.remove();
+          else
                fh.removeDirectoryRec();
        }
