+ \index{directory!deleting}
+ Delete an entire directory tree (\var{path} must point to a directory).
+ If \var{ignore_errors} is true, errors resulting from failed removals
+ will be ignored; if false or omitted, such errors are handled by
+ calling a handler specified by \var{onerror} or, if that is omitted,
+ they raise an exception.
If \var{onerror} is provided, it must be a callable that accepts
three parameters: \var{function}, \var{path}, and \var{excinfo}.
