On the recent python-dev thread, Victor especially made some well
thought out suggestions. It seems to me there's general agreement that
the basic API in PEP 471 is good (with Ethan not a fan at first, but
it seems he's on board after further discussion :-).
I would still like to have 'info' and 'onerror' added to the basic API, but I agree that having methods and caching on
first lookup is good.
That said, I think there's basically one thing remaining to decide:
whether or not to have DirEntry.is_dir() and .is_file() follow
symlinks by default.
We should have a flag for that, and default it to False:
scandir(path, *, followlinks=False, info=None, onerror=None)
