Comment(by vadz):

 Both are too generic IMHO, and we also already have
 `wxFileSystemOpenFlags` which is for (virtual) `wxFileSystem` and not
 (physical) `wxFileName` so it could be also a bit confusing. BTW, we also
 already have `wxFileKind` too.

 So I guess it would need to be some new `wxFileExistsFlags` (or, actually,
 unnamed, because what do we need its name for?) enum with elements
 `wxFILE_EXISTS_FILE` (or `REGULAR`?), `wxFILE_EXISTS_DIR`, ... and
 `wxFILE_EXISTS_NO_FOLLOW`.

 Any better suggestions?
