(FILE-EXISTS? <filename-string>) -- returns #t or #f
(DELETE-FILE <filename-string>) --> unspecified
Should DELETE-FILE return an indication of success or failure?
I would prefer an error to be signalled if the deletion failed.
OPEN-INPUT-FILE, etc. signal when opening fails, and I think we should
be consistent.
