[New-bugs-announce] [issue34137] Add Path.lexist() to pathlib

[Daniel Pope]

New submission from Daniel Pope <lord.mauve at gmail.com>:

When using pathlib to manipulate paths that may be symlinks or regular files, a pattern that comes up frequently is this expression:

path.is_symlink() or path.exists()

os.path.lexists(path) can be used for this, but when using pathlib going back to os.path for this seems like defeat.
