Without "foo/", you do not have to pay the price, so I think
that is a sane optimization, but at the same time it would make
it worse if "foo/" is actually used.  excluded_1() is called for
the same pathname from a loop to check for a match and you would
end up running lstat(2) three times (once each for EXC_CMDL,
EXC_DIRS and EXC_FILE).

But maybe people who want "foo/" deserve it.  I dunno.

Ah, I didn't look at it that closely.

To do the laziness right, I think you would need to pass a pointer to
the dtype around, and just fill it in the first time it is needed.
