Add error output to %File.RemoveDirectoryTree()

The documentation for using RemoveDirectoryTree says that there is no output argument for returning a system error code. I would like to see one added, especially since the error output on other functions tends to be a %DynamicArray type which would allow posting back multiple errors should the process of removing the directory tree require multiple command calls.

If this is not possible, it would be really nice to have some method of determining why a RemoveDirectoryTree call failed outside of just a boolean "Did it work? yes or no", especially in a situation where I am able to remove the directory tree myself when logged in as the IRIS user at the system level but IRIS cannot for some unknown reason.
