Clarification.  I meant "A single central point to check is a useful
concept, but centrally checking 'does this exist? I do not care what
it is' is not necessarily useful and I suspect it is not useful more
often than it is".  When you care if something exists, you often
want to know what it is and other aspects of that thing at the same
time.
