.. method:: Path.is_mount()
Return ``True`` if the path is a :dfn:`mount point`: a point in a
file system where a different file system has been mounted. On POSIX, the
function checks whether *path*'s parent, :file:`path/..`, is on a different
device than *path*, or whether :file:`path/..` and *path* point to the same
i-node on the same device --- this should detect mount points for all Unix
and POSIX variants. Not implemented on Windows.
.. versionadded:: 3.7
.. method:: Path.is_symlink()
Return ``True`` if the path points to a symbolic link, ``False`` otherwise.

``pathlib.Path`` objects now include an ``is_mount()`` method (only
implemented on POSIX). This is similar to ``os.path.ismount(p)``. Patch by
Cooper Ry Lees.
