It seems that in VERSION 9.3 (November 29, 2019) the doc-available($xml-doc) seems to be broken; it should return a boolean but throws an exception.
Has this been fixed recently? Cannot find a reference to such a fix in GIT.

Dear Basex People,
I have this fragment:
let $xml-doc := 'MyDatabase/bogus-entry.xml' let $list := *if (doc-available($xml-doc)) then doc($xml-doc)/** else () return $list
I'd expect BaseX to return the empty sequence when the document is not in the collection. But Basex returns an error:
[basex:doc] Database path 'MyDatabase/bogus-entry.xml' yields no documents.
What am I doing wrong? I thought I was following the example in https://docs.basex.org/wiki/Databases#XML_Documents nicely...
Thanks in advance!!
