I've completed an analysis of expectations for the exists() and is_xxx() family of functions, and the previously suggested status() and symlink_status() functions.

Thanks to Peter Dimov, Rob Stewart, and Jeff Garland for their suggestions. Errors are mine alone.

Hmm, what's the benefit of having symlink_status() and status() ? Wouldn't one function suffice that sets the symlink flag when a symlink is encoutered on the way. I.e. symlink_flag | directory_flag identifies a symlink pointing to a directory symlink_flag | not_found_flag identifies a symlink pointing to a non existing file/dir and so on ... Thomas
