Comment (by Rarst):

 One problem is that `wp_normalize_path()` doesn’t require path to be
 ''real'', it normalizes ''path strings'' really. Introducing
 `file_exists()` check here feels somewhat unwanted.

 Maybe we should introduce a new function, something like
 `wp_normalize_real_path()` that will both validate path as valid
 filesystem path and normalize it?
