+	Change the name of the objects returned by OPENDIR from
+	"directory" to "directory stream".  A predicate named "directory?"
+	would be confusing.
+	* filesys.c (scm_directory_stream_p): Renamed from scm_directory_p.
+	At the Scheme level, "directory?" -> "directory-stream?".
+	(scm_dir_print): Use the phrase "directory stream" in printed form.
+	* filesys.h (scm_directory_stream_p): Prototype renamed
+	accordingly.
+
 	* Makefile.am (CLEANFILES): Remove versiondat.h; that should only
 	be removed by `make distclean', since it's generated by configure.
 	* Makefile.in: Regenerated.
