-1 on this functionality being in os, for the same reasons David mentions.

I find both of these behaviors useful and I have small utility functions of my 
own that do the same (and ignore any errors). I'm not so sure they need to be 
in stdlib, though. As mentioned, you need to either handle the errors, or do 
what I do and just fail if any of these conditions arise.
