If you implement routines to get the hierarchy as a list, I do not
care about the lists, ie if you have:

     /some/thing
     /some/other
     /some/third/fourth

And I can call: 

     gimme (/some)

And get:

    (/thing, /other, /third)

I will be happy.

With the daemon you do not even need to poll.  This is my prefered
approach.
