Ethan Furman <et...@stoneleaf.us> added the comment:

The problem with using `str()` on a path argument is that the argument may not 
be a str, nor a pathlib object, but `str()` will still create a string out of 
it, leading to difficult bugs.

The documentation for pathlib also predates the addition of `os.fspath()`.
