Description
Currently, files promises can move_obstructions out of the way if the wrong file type is encountered (expecting plain file vs directory or vice versa). When enabled obstructions are moved out of the way and suffixed with .cf-moved. It would be nice if it were possible to simply discard obstructions.
Discarding moved obstructions requires a separate files promise
mkdir -p /tmp/mail/ rm -rf /tmp/mail/* touch /tmp/mail/mbox1 /tmp/mail/mbox2 /tmp/mail/mbox3 ls /tmp/mail
mbox1 mbox2 mbox3
Here we promise to delete any .cf-moved suffixed files just after we promised the presence of directories and moving obstructions.
bundle agent example

vars:
"files_or_dirs"
slist => findfiles( "/tmp/mail/*" );
reports:
"$(files_or_dirs)";
files:
# What's wrong with this?
"$(files_or_dirs)/"
create => "true",
move_obstructions => "true";
"$(files_or_dirs).cf-moved"
comment => "Discard obstructions that were moved out of the way",
delete => tidy;
}

In order to discard the moved obstructions, a separate files promise must be made.
