I've never heard of these functions, but I'm still on v3.6, never
having found a reason to upgrade. So I assume...

...these are new introductions in 3.8?

If so, how do they differ from the os.path.isfile()
and os.path.isdir() functions that already exist?
Could you use those as alternatives?

As to why the new functions aren't showing up, I've no
idea, sorry.
