  Description     : walker is a faster, parallel version, of filepath.Walk

Reasoning:
 This is a dependency for recent releases of fzf (>= 0.21.0), a popular, fast,
 command-line fuzzy finder.

Description:
 This library and filepath.Walk both perform os.Lstat calls and provide a full
 os.FileInfo structure to the callback. BenchmarkFastwalkWalkLstat and
 BenchmarkGodirwalkWalkLstat include this stat call for better comparison with
 BenchmarkFilepathWalk and BenchmarkWalkerWalk.
 .
 This library and fastwalk both require the callback to be safe for concurrent
 use. BenchmarkFilepathWalkAppend, BenchmarkWalkerWalkAppend,
 BenchmarkFastwalkWalkAppend and BenchmarkGodirwalkWalkAppend append the paths
 found to a string slice. The callback, for the libraries that require it, use a
 mutex, for better comparison with the libraries that require no locking.
 .
 This library will not always be the best/fastest option. In general, if you're
 on Windows, or performing lstat calls, it does a pretty decent job. If you're
 not, I've found fastwalk to perform better on machines with fewer cores.
