I am starting to see where you are going with this, and I agree with your
latest points.
I dropped readlines/writelines. I guess pathlib doesn't have to do *exactly*
everything you can do through normal io. They are easy to implement anyway with
.split() and .join().
I realize this would not make it into Python for a while (3.5 possibly, if at
all), but I went ahead and made a patch anyway because I have time to do so at
the moment.
I updated the tests to reflect the latest changes, and made sure all of them
still pass. Any criticism/wisdom would be appreciated, as this is my first time
dealing with the Python patch process.
The api is what you have, except I put an 'append' option:
read_bytes()
read_text(encoding=None, errors=None, newline=None)
write_bytes(data, append=False)
write_text(data, encoding=None, errors=None, newline=None, append=False)
