Description

The documentation for `file-type` says

   If ERROR is given and true, file-type signals an error if the file does not exist.

However if ERROR is not given, then the file also signals an error, so it might be better to say that

   If ERROR is given and false, then file-type returns #f if the file does not exist; otherwise, it
   signals an error.
