Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr> added the comment:

Not a good idea IMHO.  Why would containment mean the existence of a file in a 
directory?  It could just as well mean that a certain path component is part of 
the path.

Also I don't understand what would e.g. `Path('/usr/bar') in Path('/etc/foo')` 
mean.

As for adding a .exists method to PurePath, I think you're missing the point of 
PurePath here (i.e. its operations *don't* do any IO whatsoever).
