Not a good idea IMHO. Why would containment mean the existence of a file in a directory? It could just as well mean that a certain path component is part of the path.
Also I don't understand what would e.g. `Path('/usr/bar') in Path('/etc/foo')` mean.
As for adding a .exists method to PurePath, I think you're missing the point of PurePath here (i.e. its operations *don't* do any IO whatsoever).
