It already takes an optional second arg. The current signature is:
(create-directory pathname [ parents? ] )
This optional parameter tells it to create parent directories if they
don't exist. Of course we could make it look like:
(create-directory pathname [ parents? [ atomic? ] ] )
This is probably the cleanest backwards-compatible solution.
