fs:exsist should by itself work just fine with bogus data.
Bugus data is a non-existing file, no problem there.
And this is why I want to know _what_ is actually failing.
is it fs::path, fs:exists, fs:is_directory what?
Knowing this info is imho crucial to find the best way to handle the
bug/error.
