Where the alternative is that an existence check will only succeed if a
file has a corresponding (and verifiable) .sig?

I think existence-only is the right semantics because verify_detached can
be used to achieve the signature-check in a standalone fashion.

(I.e., the existing behavior of test and verify_detached seems correct to
me.)
