My bad, the implementation was changed at the end of the development of
jdk7 and
I forget to update my brain accordingly.
DirectoryStream now uses a DirectoryIteratorException which wraps an
IOException and extends ConcurrentModificationException.
So I supose that UncheckedIOException should be renamed to
IOIteratorException, should extend ConcurrentModificationException
and be the new supertype of DirectoryIteratorException.
