[issue19643] shutil rmtree fails on readonly files in Windows

[Tim Golden]

Tim Golden added the comment:

TBH I'm still fairly -0 and edging towards -0.5. If we didn't already 
have two keyword args I might be convinced towards a jfdi=True flag. 
But, as the OP described, the current params already allow for a 
workaround of sorts and another param of the semantics we're discussing 
would surely just be confusing?

(Or you could just "preprocess" on Windows, eg attrib -r /s)
