[plt-scheme] Addition of #:exists keyword to copy-file et. al.?
I find the #:exists keyword hard to remember, but I think it would be
easier to recall if it were used more widely. Is there any chance
that, say, "copy-file" might be augmented (er, so to speak) to accept
the #:exists keyword, or would this make for poor cross-platform file
system cleanliness? This would also address the irritating need to
check for a file's existence before copying it in the case that
overwriting is desired. It appears that 'rename-file-or-directory'
and 'make-file-or-directory-link' might also productively use this
keyword argument.
