As far as I'm aware, it has most of both behaviours.

That's true. Conceptually, I prefer the java-utils/file method, which
is basically the same as an identically named function I wrote for
Compojure.

The problem with having java-utils/file and duck-streams/file is that
you lose the ability to load both namespaces at the same time without
defining an exception for the file function. This does not seem like
an ideal solution. I think we should choose one or the other, give
them different names, or attempt to merge their functionality.
