Research direction

Start by reading the shutil module and the attached shutil_wait.patch and issue22024.patch, especially the proposed wait_until_deleted method and _shutil.c changes. Compare the proposals with current project conventions and tests; done means shutil provides the requested way to wait until files are definitely deleted.
