Comment (by evhan):

 This behaviour would be ideal, but we want to avoid introducing a
 dependency from file to file.posix -- those libraries are currently
 totally distinct, neither depends on the other.

 I don't see an obvious way to do the same without the dependency apart
 from just pulling the code we need into file.scm (and potentially
 #ifdeffing it as necessary). This might not be too bad, though -- we do it
 for symbolic-link?, for example, and all we ''really'' need in there is
 chmod(2) and stat(2).
