That check now has an option, `eisdirIsFolder`, that makes it treat an \"is a directory\" error as meaning the path is a folder. The option is passed along at every step of the check.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis could change how some paths are judged in permission checks when the option is used.\n\n- Area: File System\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
