Yeah, I think saying "return True if it provably exists and False if existence cannot be proven (and never raise)" is a good general rule for boolean-returning functions.
This definitely raises some edge cases where we can infer from certain error codes that a path exists, but I don't think it obliges us to prioritise fixing those in order to handle more obvious cases. |
