I've got several situations where I am editing a file, but if it doesn't exist
I'm okay with that. To avoid errors, I currently have to do a FileExists()
and then use the results of that to control the editfiles block. This is a
little tedious and does an extra stat... it would be Really Great if we could
have a "MissingOK" option (kinda like the opposite of AutoCreate) that
supresses the error message.
I tried writing a patch for this but it appears to be more complicated than it
looks. Any ambitious folk out there with better C skills than I think this
is a good idea?
