/**
 * Comparator for sorting files and directories in a deterministic manner. The
 * sort order can be case-sensitive (default) or case-insensitive, ascending
 * (default) or descending, with directories occurring before (if ascending) or
 * after files within the same directory. The default behavior has the
 * convenient property that it sorts in the same order as would be done when
 * performing a pre-order traversal of the filesystem.
 * 
 * 
 * Example input:
 *   afile
 *   file1
 *   file2
 *   dir1/
 *   FILE3
 *   dir1/file4
 *   dir2/file5
 *   dir2/file10
 *   dir2/
 *   file6
 *
 * Example output (with default behavior: case-sensitive, ascending):
 *   dir1
 *   dir1\file4
 *   dir2
 *   dir2\file10
 *   dir2\file5
 *   FILE3
 *   afile
 *   file1
 *   file2
 *   file6
