> It seems strange to suggest there is recovery from that (beyond choosing another file). That's the thing though, right? If you're writing a program with a UI you want to pop up a box saying "File not found, choose another". A server program might format an appropriate response, log it and send it back to the client. A batch process may just want to bail with a code. So it would seem to make sense to have it checked...
