Error on load() when config file doesn't exist

[coolhouse]

Just getting started with this module, cool stuff. It would be nice if load() would return something in err if the config file wasn't found. I can check for existence before I call load(), but this is redundant. Or if I'm missing something being a noob, please inform. My prototype is trying to load config, if it doesn't exist (initial startup, for example) create a default.

+1 !! I burnt a bunch of time on this. Expected an unfound file to throw an error so thought I was doing something else wrong, very annoying.

There's example code here: https://thejsf.wordpress.com/2015/02/08/node-js-application-configuration-with-nconf/ for failing noisily.
