Use os.scandir() to avoid stat :-)

For code like "for name in os.listdir(): open(name): ...." (replace
listdir with scandir if you want to get file metadata), the cache is
useless, since the fresh string has to be converted to wchar_t*
anyway, and the cache is destroyed at the end of the loop iteration,
whereas the cache has never been used...

I'm not saying that the cache is useless. I just doubt that it's so
common that it really provide any performance benefit.
