One of the best things Python ever did was to introduce os.path.getsize() +
friends, saving the bulk of the world from needing to wrestle with the
obscure Unix stat() API.  os.chmod() is another x-platform teachability pain;
if there's anything worth knowing in the bowels of statvfs(), let's please
spell it in a human-friendly way from the start.
