Are you sure you want the functions to only return the invalid
argument error if the file is actually not found? It creates
inconsistancies. An invalid argument is invalid whether the file is
there or not.
It's not invalid on Unix, that's the whole point. If we make them illegal right away it means you won't be able to access legally named Unix files. While checking for existence first will make no difference in 99% of the cases, it will do the right thing when a file with a wildcard exists in the file system, and I think that's worth a little inconsistency.
