Short term, I think it's okay to add FileDirectory>>quickerFileExists:
to BFAV. Then, as soon as Tim (or whoever) fixes
FileDirectory>>fileExists: properly, remove quickerFileExists: and use
fileExists: instead.
I assume that in your new version of BFAV, no existing methods in
FileDirectory would be touched/overwritten, and only quickerFileExists:
would be added (which is considerably safer than overwriting).
