Details

file enumerator should close directory after enumerating last file.

if you are writing JS code to enumerate a directory and wish to delete the
directory after enumerating it, you cannot do so (on Windows at least) until the
directory enumerator object is destroyed.  the problem is that nsDirEnumerator
does not close the directory until it is destroyed.  JS code must therefore jump
through hoops to ensure that garbage collection runs before it tries to delete
the directory.

you're of course wrong or confused or missummarizing (see original bug by
glazman where he eventually admits that enumerating to the end really will close
it).
