I think that's too obscure. And doesn't scale: what about
CheckIsDirectory()? You can't apply the same solution here.
What about a bool parameter:
bool IsRegularFile(Path, bool follow_symlinks=true)
The compiler will make the stat/lstat choice disappear when a constant
value is passed. May use another wrapper:
static inline bool
StatFile(const Path &path, struct stat &st, bool follow_symlinks=true)
{
return follow_symlinks ? stat(path.c_str(), &st) : lstat(path.c_str(), &st);
}
(use native WIN32 functions on Windows)
