As Antoine noted in #14626, the "rmdir" argument to os.unlink doesn't really make sense since we already deviate from just mapping posix functionality one-on-one.

Attached is a patch removing "rmdir" from os.unlink, and instead adding "dir_fd" to os.rmdir.

Looks fine to me.

I think it's a good idea, and I didn't spot anything on my first pass at reviewing the patch.  But I'm on my way out the door and won't be back for a few hours.

Tell you what: once I'm back, if I don't spot anything out of place, I'll just check it in.  If I have feedback I'll file a second patch.  Work for you, Georg?

(p.s. Antoine, Georg, anybody, if you have any more bright ideas like this, I'd love to hear 'em.  But... now's the time.)

New changeset 3b7230997425 by Larry Hastings in branch 'default':
Issue #15154: Add "dir_fd" parameter to os.rmdir, remove "rmdir"
http://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/3b7230997425

I made two documentation changes to the patch before committing it:
* I restored the text under os.remove about how it doesn't handle
  directories.
* I added a Misc/NEWS entry.

But I didn't have to touch the code--that looked dead-on to me.  Proper job, Georg!
