The current PEP still contains some redundancy between properties and
methods under Specifications:
basename() <-> name
basename(), stripext() <-> namebase
splitpath() <-> parent, name (documented)
I would like to suggest to use only properties and use splitall() to
obtain a tuple with the complete breakdown of the path.
And may be splitall() could then be renamed to split().
The directory methods mkdir()/makedirs() and rmdir()/removedirs() could
be unified. To me it seems they only exist because of Un*x details.
