So you're proposing to include these how? As standalone functions in
pathlib? Strong -1 on that. I thought the intention here was to add
methods to path objects (which I still have reservations about). But
I'm definitely against adding standalone functions to pathlib - I see
pathlib as where Path objects are defined, not as "the place where all
path-related and other file operations should live").
