The doc - both Elisp manual and doc string, should explicitly point out
that this returns non-nil for a directory, IOW, a non-nil value does not
mean that the file can be, say, inserted into a buffer.
In addition, it would be better to change the parameter name to
FILE-OR-DIR (or even FILE-OR-DIR-NAME). It is all to easy to not
realize, when reading this, that this does not test for a non-directory
file that is readable.
