      (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.
