recursively available from {\Coq} using absolute names (extending
the {\dirpath} prefix) (see Section~\ref{LongNames}).
+ Note that only those subdirectories and files which obey the lexical

+ are taken into account. Conversely, the underlying file systems or
+ operating systems may be more restrictive than {\Coq}. While Linux's
