Ffile_exists_p ("/tmp/DELETEME")
which returns nil because it calls stat ("/tmp/DELETEME")
If "stat" was to be changed to "lstat" then the original problem would
be fixed.
But is that change desirable?
What should (file-exists-p "/tmp/DELETEME") return when /tmp/DELETEME
is a symlink that points to a non-existent file?
Both operations are useful. If you want to test for
a symlink to a nonexistent file, you can use file-symlink-p.
It returns t in that case.
