Hi, I've found myself typing too many time this: pathlib.Path("some-dir-name").mkdir(parent=True, exist_ok=True)

Wouldn't be better to have a pathlib.Path.makedirs with parent/exist_ok set to True by default?

Worth mentioning, that os.makedirs does not set exist_ok to True by default. I have been baffled by this decision, but not following it in pathlib would arguably be an inconsistency.
