Agree. First, the use of parameter is shorter (1 line instead of 4). Second, 
try/except idiom hides possible real OS errors (no rights to create the 
directory, a non-directory file with the same name already exists, illegal 
filename, too long patch, etc.).

But "ignore_if_existing" is not good name for my taste.
