Just a bunch of handy methods for dealing with files and paths:

- *FileExists::fileExists($path)*:
    A well-behaved version of *file\_exists* that throws upon failure rather than emitting a warning
- *FileExists::fileExistsTryHarder($path)*:
    Also well-behaved. Tries FileExists::fileExists(). In case of failure, tries exec()-based implementation
- *PathValidator::checkPath($path)*:
    Check if path looks valid and doesn't contain suspecious patterns
- *PathValidator::checkFilePathIsRegularFile($path)*:
    Check if path points to a regular file (and doesnt match suspecious patterns)
