I'm -0 on adding an argument to os.makedirs, +0 on adding a variant

shutil seems like the place for it to me. The subtlety of getting the
error suppression correct makes it worth implementing this once and
for all I think.
Really - so we have two almost identical functions with slightly
different behaviour in different standard library modules? Aren't the
Python APIs for working with files and paths confused enough already.
That seems crazy to me and a switch on os.makedirs much more sensible.
Guido has twice approved changing os.makedirs.
First 2 1/2 years ago in
http://bugs.python.org/msg58924 from
http://bugs.python.org/issue1675
and recently in this thread
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2010-July/102027.html
which lead to
http://bugs.python.org/issue9299
Both issues have a patch and I reviewed their major similarities and
minor differences in
