the directory's contents happened to have a true value at the end? will require be sucessful? Shouldn't it test that the file it's going to read is actually a file?

There was just a big umm, thread on this earlier, but I don't think it was noticed that require() effected. Yeah, it probably should check that its a file.


I'd rather that it checked it was not a directory (S_IFDIR, and not
a block special device: S_IFBLK).

People can do funky things with named pipes and sockets and char
devices. We shouldn't be stopping them.

I've filed a bug-report including Tim's followup.
