Correct; a path object should be a path, not a file, not a directory, 
but a path.

I see comments about allowing 'touch' or 'chmod' or other such 
file-centric methods.  I can even understand 'chmod' (in Unix 
environments) since all path objects have permissions, but this would be 
platform specific anyway.  What's wrong with something like 
posix.chmod(path_object, permissions)?

Anyway, enough of my rant for the moment.
