I wish they would. I think it would make file operations much more  
robust.

Recently I discovered that that certain copy operations would fail on  
Vista. I had to update the copy routines to use robocopy instead of  
xcopy in the shell. If Rev was using the native system APIs I imagine  
we would have less surprises like these:
