We need per-iteration error handling for the readdir call anyway, so I think an onerror callback is a better option than dropping the ability to easily obtain full stat information as part of the iteration.
I don't mind the idea of an "onerror" callback, but it's adding complexity. Putting aside the question of caching/timing for a second and assuming .lstat() as per the current PEP 471, do we really need per-iteration error handling for readdir()? When would that actually fail in practice?
