It already takes an optional second arg. The current signature is: (create-directory pathname [ parents? ] ) This optional parameter tells it to create parent directories if they don't exist. Of course we could make it look like: (create-directory pathname [ parents? [ atomic? ] ] ) This is probably the cleanest backwards-compatible solution.
