I just took a look at the Finder's dictionary. I noticed this ...

container n [inh. item] : An item that contains other items

elements
contains items, containers, folders, files, alias files, application files, document files, internet location files, clippings, packages; contained by application, containers, disks, folders, desktop-objects, trash-objects.
properties
entire contents specifier, r/o : the entire contents of the container, including the contents of its children
expandable boolean, r/o : (NOT AVAILABLE YET) Is the container capable of being expanded as an outline?
expanded boolean : (NOT AVAILABLE YET) Is the container opened as an outline? (can only be set for containers viewed as lists)
completely expanded boolean : (NOT AVAILABLE YET) Are the container and all of its children opened as outlines? (can only be set for containers viewed as lists)
container window specifier, r/o : the container window for this folder

Many years ago, I used completely expanded to set all disclosure triangles in a list view folder to horizontal (false).
Then, one day, I noticed that this was no longer available, but the phrase "NOT AVAILABLE YET" seems to indicate that Apple will have this working SOON.

I waited and waited with a picture in my mind of Apple's programmers busily restoring this feature.
Then I realized that years and years had passed and nothing had happened. There can be only two possible conclusions ...

Either Apple's programmers are (1.) incompetent or (2.) they just don't care.

Which is worse? Probably 2.
