I'm not opposed to it on principles, but I think that the default
behavior should not do it, so as to minimize the risk that find-file
ends up prompting in a context where the user is absent or doesn't even
know that a file needs to be opened (internal uses of find-file-noselect).

It's still meaningful in that it warns the user that maybe the name he
provided was wrong, or that at the dir has not yet been created.
