[issue36128] ResourceReader for FileLoader inconsistently handles path separators

Jason R. Coombs added the comment: The preferred API as implemented in Python 3.9 and importlib_resources 1.1 is the `files()` API. This simpler API returns a Traversable object, a pathlib-like handle to the contents of a package. This approach side-steps the issues described above. In
