Using the include path for file_exists doesn't sound useful to me, for
similar reasons as those for not allowing to write a file in the include
path - which file are you actually writing to?  What if someone puts a file
with the same name earlier in the include path and so on.

What is probably better is some kind of generic path-searching function that
returns the full path to the first file in the include_path (or some other
path).
