Sorry for obviously being such mistakable: Exactly _because_ opendir()
can't provide the functionality asked for here it makes sense to provide
that functionality with cbm_opendir() - and not with cbm_opendir2().

Or to put it in other words: I'd consider three different functions for dir
handling as overkill / undesirable. And with opendir() wanted for sure
there's only room for one additional function. So there's no reason to not
name that second function cbm_opendir() - totally independent from it's
signature.
