That's exactly the point. The operational semantics are that the directory is only created if it not already exists. The long name is
do_what_it_takes_but_make_sure_this_directory_exists(path p);
May I bicycleshedingly suggest
make_directory_hierarchy() or make_hierarchy() ?
On X-Windows systems there is a small program called mkdirhier. So, the names I suggested resemble it a bit.
