I've locally incorporated the changes and remain open to either option. The proposed amended commit message would be; Modernize the test by replacing `test -e` instances with `test_path_is_file` helper functions, and `! test -e` with `test_path_is_missing`, for better readability and diagnostic messages. For instances when `${if_local_config}` is either '' or '! ' then `test_path_is_file` will diagnose the directory and print a message if and only if the result `is false` goes away.
