StandardOpenOption for directories and files. Files.create..()

Why the StandardOpenOption parameter is not present at all in the parameter list of this method: Files.createDirectory(path, FileAttribute<?>)? I am talking about the same StandardOpenOption available for writing a file "Files.write(path,byte[],options)" which allows to use the StandardOpenOption.CREATE which won't give back any exception if the file already exist. In Files.createFile(..) and Files.createDirectory() there is no possibility to insert a StandardOpenOption, so if by mistake I am creating a file which already exist I will get an exception out of it. Is there any way to insert an option such as StandardOpenOption.CREATE in the creation of files and directories using Files.createFile(...),Files.createDirectory(...);

If you just want the behaviour of CREATE you could use: 

Files.createDirectories

If you want to use the options directly you would have to write your own utility method.
