Description

Methods such as file_check_exists report on their result whereas we may not want to.
There are 2 use cases :
- we want the file to be present and we want the method to tell us if not
- we want to know wether the file is present or not and take an action based on this

The second case is a new methods.
We could name them does_* instead of check_*, for example file_does_exist
