[New-bugs-announce] [issue46791] Allow os.remove to defer to rmdir

[Dan Snider]

New submission from Dan Snider <mr.assume.away at gmail.com>:

It appears sometime recently-ish that POSIX updated remove to the following:

    #include <stdio.h>
    int remove(const char *path);

If path does not name a directory, remove(path) shall be equivalent to unlink(path). If path names a directory, remove(path) shall be equivalent to rmdir(path).
