WARNING: The example using RecursiveIteratorIterator given in the note below is DANGEROUS! It
doesn't guard against recursing into '..', and so the deletion will actually extend
up into /path/to, /path, and then / and start deleting everything it can get access to.
To guard against this, you need to check $dir->isDot() first, and do nothing if true.
(Fortunately, I happened to notice this before running it.)
