It's not invalid on Unix, that's the whole point. If we make them
illegal right away it means you won't be able to access legally named
Unix files. While checking for existence first will make no difference
in 99% of the cases, it will do the right thing when a file with a
wildcard exists in the file system, and I think that's worth a little
inconsistency.
