A small docs update: I don't list the possible functions for onerror at  all anymore, as that list is likely to grow and is a PITA to maintain. People shouldn’t rely on a certain set of functions here.

Martin proposed <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2012-May/119555.html> to re-implement os.fwalk inside of rmdir which I’m -1 <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2012-May/119556.html> on.

If error reporting is the only issue, I’d rather expand fwalk to supply the function that failed to the caller. Be it using a custom field in exceptions or be it using expanding its onerror.
