doesFileExist and doesDirectoryExist overly verbose?

[Erik Hesselink]

Those names suggest checks to see if something is a file or directory,
not existence checks.

Regarding the original question: I don't think this should be changed,
because the current names aren't that bad, and changing them would
break a lot of code.
