heavy accent, but very cool idea, instead of getting all filenames and then you do filtering you tell fs:: to do filtering before returning you the file names... and it is much faster

I was actually using a recursive_directory_iterator just 2 days ago and found it too slow, and searched for exactly this and was confused as to why it didn't exist :D

Wow, combining std::filesystem with std::regex. I reckon getting an intern to find the files manually could be faster.
