Subject: [ruby-core:46857] [ruby-trunk - Feature #6811] File, Dir and FileUtils should have bang-versions of singleton methods that fails silently


Issue #6811 has been updated by trans (Thomas Sawyer).


At least for mkdir you can use mkdir_p, although it annoyingly warns about missing path if $VERBOSE=true (can we consider that a bug please?).

I found that often write 
Dir.mkdir(folder) unless Dir.exist? folder
and similar code for rm, rm_rf and so on
We can simply make bang-versions like
def Dir.mkdir!(folder, permissions=0744)
  Dir.mkdir(folder, permissions) unless Dir.exist? folder
# or another alternative  Dir.mkdir(folder, permissions) rescue false
end
