New submission from Oscar Esteban <oeste...@stanford.edu>:
Gauging the interest in a checksum calculation function built-in Path objects:
```
>>> Path('somefile.img').checksum()
'4976c36bacf922cbc5c811c9c288e61d'
>>> Path('somefile.img').checksum(hash='md5')
'4976c36bacf922cbc5c811c9c288e61d'
>>> Path('somefile.img').checksum(hash='sha256')
'12917abe21e1eb4ba3c704600db53a1ff1434b3259422b86bfd08afa8216e4aa'
>>> Path.home().checksum()
'798d3a5c2b679750a90e91b09cf93129'
>>> Path.home().checksum(hash='sha256')
'b3e04961fd54818d93aac305db4a3dec51b9731808c19ea9c59460c841e2d145'
# Do not checksum content, just the file's path, as for directories
>>> Path('somefile.img').checksum(content=False)
'3fb531e352cbc2e2103ab73ede40f2d6'
```
