> The current version does not include an optional way to detect errors with the underlying filesystem and/or logic early.
> Due to performance reason and/or design decision, the result of delete or create directories/files does not include a check wheter the delete or create was successful. It "only" relies on trust to the underlying operations of the JDK and/or the completeness of own unit tests.
> To have the option to check things, without having additional commons-io proprietary options and without a performance impact for regular operations the Java 1.4 keyword "assert" should be used.
> Current project profits in case of detail analysis. Downstream projects having own unit tests for IO will profit.
> PR with proposal will follow.
