Hi,

I'd like to see pathlib in 3.4 as well. Last week at PyCon.DE in Cologne
several people have asked me about pathlib. We even had a BarCamp
session about path libraries for Python. A couple of German Python users
have promised to contribute doc improvements soonish.

AFAIK stat caching and a os.listdir() generator with stat `recycling`
(dirent->d_type) are open issues. I suggest Python 3.4 should ignore
these features for now but prepare the API and documentation for future
enhancements.

+1 for PEP 428
