-Experimental openat() support
------------------------------
-
-On compatible POSIX systems, the concrete PosixPath class can take advantage
-of \*at() functions (`openat()`_ and friends), and manages the bookkeeping of
-open file descriptors as necessary.  Support is enabled by passing the
-*use_openat* argument to the constructor::
-
-    >>> p = Path(".", use_openat=True)
-
-Then all paths constructed by navigating this path (either by iteration or
-indexing) will also use the openat() family of functions.  The point of using
-these functions is to avoid race conditions whereby a given directory is
-silently replaced with another (often a symbolic link to a sensitive system
-location) between two accesses.
