Exactly what is the point in abstracting the existing Lua filesystem I/O functionality to a new bunch of functions?

[Mex]

It's purely to make scripting easier and quicker, for example:

if file.exists("filename.txt") then
-- code
end

vs.

local Handle = io.open("filename.txt")
if Handle then
io.close(Handle)
-- code
end
