Also, the former is simply more *informative* - it tells the reader that baz is expected to be a directory, not a file.
On Windows you can usually tell that from the fact that filenames almost always have an extension, and directory names almost never do.
Usually, but not always. I have not infrequently used files with a blank extension. I can't recall using a directory name with an extension (but I can't swear that I never have).
I most commonly see this with bare git repositories <reponame>.git. And I've created directory names with "extensions" for my own use. Eric
