Building paths #66

For the longest time, I was under the impression that the following would throw, if the file (or folder) didn't exist.

let rulesDocument = try folder.file(named: "Rules.pdf")

The code seems to read: "Try to build a path to this file named Rules.pdf at this location."

Similar to how a browser might behave if you "try" a URL to nowhere.

Might it be worth making a distinction between a File that you know exists and a PotentialFile that hasn't been confirmed to exist? You see this kind of 'evaluate at last minute' mentality throughout Swift.

The same kind of mentality as

Ok scratch that my tests are passing on my second machine and not my first. Probably nothing to do with Files.
