    Like :func:`utime` but if *path* is relative, it is taken as relative to *dirfd*.     If *path* is relative and *dirfd* is the special value :data:`AT_FDCWD`, then *path*

Hmm, while the [] are old style, they are still correct when the function doesn't support kwargs.  Please revert.

(Also, the syntax ``(atime, mtime)=None`` would not be valid Python and at is best confusing.)
