> Christopher and Serhiy, I would appreciate if you could kindly explain why your arguments, while applying to my suggestions, do not apply to the following functions:
1. Path.stat() wraps only one function, while Path.read() wraps two functions. It's signature should be a sum of open() and read() signatures: Path.read(encoding, errors, newline, size) (I have omitted some open's parameters). This is a little cumbersome.
2. os.stat() requires `import os`, while open() is builtin.
3. If add Path.read(), what about Path.readlines() and Path.readline()?
4. I believe Path.stat() will be used much more often than Path.read().
5. Path.stat() corresponds to low-level os.stat(), but for low-level os.read() the high-level corresponding is FileIO.read(). And this corresponding is much more universal and useful.
