I don't know at the moment if I should be happy or not.
It's fine to see that's good routines would be implemented into the idl
binary but always this is done I got the problem that's all of our
sources using these routines need changes.
This happens last time by file_search. We have had nearly the same
functionality in our routine but not the same parameters or keywords.
Internal routines are first called sources with the same name are ignored.

I believe they like to start with FILE_ because of the other file
handling routines. I would prefer FILE_COUNT_ROWS if possible.
This gives more sense as the word I have choosen in the past.

I will have a look in the beta at this point. It's fine to be a beta
tester if such new/old functions are implemented. So I have a bit more
time to change our library.
