Any reason why stat() can't get a keyword-only cached=True argument instead? Or have stat() never cache() but stat_cache() always so that people can choose if they want fresh or cached based on API and not whether some library happened to make a decision for them?
I also prefer a single function, but only if the default is cached=False. Caching by default can be surprising and unexpected. Victor
