+// There are two distinct implementations of ListDir -- one for Linux and another for everything
+// else. The linux-specific implementation is 20% faster.
+//
+// The reason sorting is bundled with directory listing is performance on Linux. The API of
+// getdents64 allows for much faster sorting than what can be done with a plain vector<char*>.
+// For the POSIX implementation there is no need to bundle sorting in this way. In fact, it's
+// done at the end with a generic StrSort() call.
+//
+// For best results, reuse the arena and vector for multiple calls to avoid heap allocations.
