Python Feature Request: (?) Group all file-directory-related stdlib functions in one place

["Martin v. Löwis"]

> Currently file-directory-related functionality in the Python standard
> library is scattered among various modules such as shutil, os,
> dircache etc. So I request that the functions be gathered and
> consolidated at one place. Some may need renaming to avoid conflicts
> or for clarification.

Please see PEP 355.
