I believe fileutil::touch (or whatever) should be compatible with unix 
'touch' comand and NOT delete an existing file - it should only "Update 
the access and modification times of each FILE to the current 
time.existing file"

Also, the touch command is the only one which does not change the 
contents of a file, and maybe should be in a different namespace/package ?
