[issue4489] shutil.rmtree is vulnerable to a symlink attack

[Éric Araujo]

In case you want opinions on pathlib: I, for one, disliked Jason Orendorff’s path module, because it did not distinguish between pure string operations and I/O-inducing operations, and also because it duplicated os/os.path functions.  Your API doesn’t have these issues, so for my taste it’s conceptually better.  I should clone your repo and play with the module a bit to see if I like it.
