[New-bugs-announce] [issue29847] Path takes and ignores **kwargs

[Jelle Zijlstra]

New submission from Jelle Zijlstra:

pathlib.Path.__new__ takes **kwargs, but doesn't do anything with them (https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Lib/pathlib.py#L979). This doesn't appear to be documented.

This feature should presumably be either documented or removed (probably removed unless I'm missing some reason for having it).
