    As of Python 3.3, os.lstat() and os.lchmod() are available as os.stat(follow_symlinks=False) and os.chmod(follow_symlinks=False), but an equivalent change didn't make it into pathlib. I propose we add the follow_symlinks argument to Path.stat() and Path.chmod() for consistency with os and because the new notation is arguable clearer for people who don't know many system calls off by heart :)
