Please focus on what was accepted in the PEP. We should first test
os.scandir(). In a few months, with better feedbacks, we can consider
extending os.scandir() to support a file descriptor. There are
different issues which should be discussed and decided to implement it
(ex: handle the lifetime of the directory file descriptor).
