Description:
------------
It would be nice to have an option for file_exists() that would do a search using the include path.  This would allow a validity check for a file to be included with "include_once" or "require_once".  These functions use the include path to find a file.  Currently, I have programmed my own function called my_file_exists() to be used instead of file_exists() so the test is done on all directories in the include path.

? This wouldn't actually be terribly difficult, but I have to ask: Given that it's fairly trivial to do in userspace, what's the problem with doing it there?

I can't see a single good reason for adding this functionality;
besides that it can easily be implemented in userland, it still
doesn't prevent potential race conditions.  If you feel strongly
that it would be a useful addition, please forward the request to
the internals mailing list.
