Output from Erlang shell:
1> {ok, Cs} = file:list_dir(".").
{ok,["TODO.md","test","src","sinan.config",
      "rebar.config.bak","README.md","Makefile","LICENSE",
      "INSTALL.md","examples","ebin","doc",
      "current_counterexample.eqc","config","CHANGELOG.md",
      "_build",".gitignore",".git"]}
2> lists:partition( fun file:is_file/1, Cs ).
** exception error: undefined function file:is_file/1

   "Makefile","LICENSE","INSTALL.md",
   "current_counterexample.eqc","CHANGELOG.md",".gitignore"]}

It seems that filelib:is_file/1 is viewing everything as a file whereas 
filelib:is_dir/1 has a more correct view.

Done on my Mac OS X Lion using R15B.

Cheers,
