I think different operations should be mapped on different methods.
That is the reason why both of #mkdir and #mkdir_p exist.  I used
UNIX command name analogy, but FileUtils is not a UNIX command
(mkdir(1) does not have --noop option).

In addition, Perl has two separate functions, mkdir and mkpath.
