I still don't buy it, just don't use the API if its POV is so wrong for your
use case. If anything, we can better Javadoc this method. What do others think?

> SecurityExceptions are hidden instead of breaking the regular flow
> ------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: IO-712
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-712
> Project: Commons IO
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Utilities
> Affects Versions: 2.8.0
> Reporter: Boris Unckel
> Priority: Critical
> Labels: Security, SecurityManager
> Time Spent: 1h
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> Several points in the code hide SecurityException. These _must_ always
> _break_ the regular control flow, if you're not the SecurityManager.
> UseCase A: One wants to configure the SecurityManager and grant permissions.
> Part of the application is to delete a file. If the permission is missing,
> cleaning does not work. The missing exception does not allow to recognize
> that.
> UseCase B: One has activated the SecurityManager. An attacker abuses the
> relevant method. The missing SecurityException hides this attempt, ones IDS
> can't alarm.
> UseCase C: One utilizes the SecurityManager to test the system, to ensure
> every property (like file location) is set properly. The missing
> SecurityException does not support this UseCase.
