I vote that there be five new functions:
* isReadable(inout(C)[] path) (or perhaps canRead()): for files, a
std.stdio.open(..., "r") will succeed; for directories, std.file.dirEntries()
will succeed.
* isWriteable(inout(C)[] path) (or perhaps canWrite()): for files, a
std.stdio.open(..., "w") will succeed; for directories, creating a new file in
the directory will succeed (excluding things like no space on device). Open
question if this function should detect write-only media and return false if
so.
* isExecutable(inout(C)[] path) (or perhaps canExecute()): for files,
exec()/fork()/popen()/etc. (and wrappers) will succeed; always false for
directories.
* isTraversable(inout(C)[] path): always false for files; for directories, a
chdir() will succeed OR a file in the directory can be stat()d. (This is the
traditional POSIX view of execute bit on a directory.)
* std.stdio.File.isBinary(): returns true if the file was opened with "rb" or
"wb".
