+ 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
