-- Sum up: provides a number of files in several directories
-- @warg.paths a table with the paths which should be checked
-- @warg.pattern a global regex to match files (Default: match all)
-- use posix-egrep style instead of the default (less familar) emacs regex
-- Be carefull with directories, who contains a mass of files.
-- "find" is usally fast, but will also produce delays, if the inodes get to big.
-- So if you want to count your music library, you may want to use locate/updatedb instead.
