> What exactly do you do with a path argument?

Because they mention "convert[ing] the string to a path", I would expect an 
output of `pathlib.Path`, optionally checked for existence / non-existence and 
/ or kind (file, directory, symlink, ...).

Obviously it is rather easy to bring your own, but OP's expectation is that 
paths input is common enough (especially in smaller standalone scripts I would 
expect) that having a helper in a standard library would be... helpful.
