Hi Everyone!
 Let me introduce isexist() function to those who work extensively with the file system while programming in gawk. This function provides a fast way to check whether a path exists and what it points to: a file or a folder.

I haven't had a need for this personally but can't we already do that and more with the `stat` function from the `filefuncs` extension described at https://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/manual/gawk.html#Extension-Example?
