Don't be silly. The whole point is what to do when the file doesn't
exist. If I knew that in the first place, I would have hit C-x d.
And, smartypants, just try hitting C-x d with the cursor placed on a
path where the file doesn't exist, but the directory does. What does
your C-x d prompt with there? Nothing, nada, nilch*, just the current
directory.
*coined new word. 10 points.
