Description
QFileInfo doesn't provide any way to indicate that its attempt to retrieve file information failed. For example, if stat() fails, QFileInfo::exists() returns false, when in fact QFileInfo can't determine if the file exists at all. It would be convenient to provide some API to communicate errors from the underlying layers back up to the programmer.
