Revisiting: 

#. sometimes that negative entry can last minutes rather than a few seconds.
# we also do existence checks on rename, so the same risk can occur there: you 
copy to a destination and the new file isn't immediately visible.

Proposed: a new operation checkIsNotDirectory(key): boolean. which returns true 
if there is either nothing at the far end or a file, that is "no directory 
entry"

we can have a sequence of

* S3Guard: check the store to make sure it's not a directory entry.
* S3: HEAD key + "/"; LIST key.

* Moot for S3Guard
* For raw S3, that initial HEAD $path is faster than doing a list, so if you 
are overwriting a file you are doing a HEAD $path/ and a LIST path (two calls, 
one slower), and there'll be no negative caching anyway.

We'd be increasing the cost of overwriting an existing file, but reducing the 
cost of creating a new file and risk of caching 404, so in some codepaths 
things would get better, some would get worse

The safest way to handle this would be add a hint in file creation to say "this 
create doesn't expect the dest to exist" vs "this create expects a file at the 
dest" or even "don't bother with any exists checks at all", which is what is 
secretly done in the commit code via WriteOperationsHelper offering a put() API 
call.
