Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

Support for anewline argument was added to thewrite_text method in Python 3.10 (issue#67894).

I've been using this method but I've found a need for anewline method forread_text as well.

Here's the scenario where this would be handy (namely reading and writing the original newlines):

frompathlibimportPathpath=Path("my_file.txt")contents=path.read_text(newline="")contents=perform_some_operation_on(contents)path.write_text(contents,newline="")

Has this already been discussed elsewhere?

This is a minor feature, which does not need previous discussion elsewhere

Links to previous discussion of this feature:

I have not found any prior discussions or mentions ofnewline argument being supported forread_text outside of the initial pathlib API discussion (#64417 (comment)).
