[New-bugs-announce] [issue39895] `pathlib.Path.touch()` calls `os.close()` without using accessor

[Barney Gale]

New submission from Barney Gale <barney.gale at gmail.com>:

`Path.touch()` does a lot of os-specific /stuff/ that should probably live in the accessor. Perhaps most importantly, is calls `os.close()` on whatever `accessor.open()` returns, which is problematic for those wishing to write their own accessor that doesn't work on a file descriptor level.
