I'm not against but it would require a small adjustment to 
NotDirectoryException's spec and also a consideration of which APIs that 
might optionally specify it - for example the create* methods might 
specify it as an optional specific exception for the case where you try 
to create a file, directory, sym link, etc. and the parent path does not 
resolve to a directory.
