[New-bugs-announce] [issue27085] Make it possible to select return type for os.listdir

[Evgeny Kapun]

New submission from Evgeny Kapun:

Currently, os.listdir returns a list of strings, unless called with a bytes argument, in which case a list of byte strings is returned. I think that there should be a keyword argument to override this selection.
