I think the current behavior solves made old bug reports, where by
people used is_readable() to see if they could read from a file, only
to have the operation file due to safe_mode/open_basedir
restrictions. Taking the check away would also mean it would be
possible to "explore" file file system bypassing PHP's file system
restrictions.
