There was some question of this quite some time ago.
is_file() was changed (to many peoples annoyance by what I saw) to
report the error.
file_exists still shouldn't report the error. Personally, I think they
both shouldn't. If it doesn't exist, it sure as hell isn't a file, so it
should be false. Cluttering too many error messages is bad. People don't
want to have to change their log level because existing scripts like it.
