 -   `CLI::Transformer(...)`: 🚧 Modify the input using a map.  See [Transforming Validators](#transforming-validators) for more details.
 -   `CLI::CheckedTransformer(...)`: 🚧 Modify the input using a map, and Require that the input is either in the set or already one of the outputs of the set. See [Transforming Validators](#transforming-validators) for more details.
 -   `CLI::ExistingFile`: Requires that the file exists if given.
+-   `CLI::ExistingReadFile`: Requires that the file given exists and have permission to read it.
+-   `CLI::ExistingWriteFile`: Requires that the file given exists and have permission to write to it.
 -   `CLI::ExistingDirectory`: Requires that the directory exists.
 -   `CLI::ExistingPath`: Requires that the path (file or directory) exists.
 -   `CLI::NonexistentPath`: Requires that the path does not exist.
