Wrong Steven. Spelling matters in email too.
Yes, it absolutely does. My apologies.
-1 Not good enough. I wouldn't do it that often that "ugly" overrides
the reasoning Brett presented [...]
But we don't object to (de)serializing dicts to (from) str (as JSON or
pickle).
Amusingly enough, I don't have to deal with serializing dicts. :)
However, as a comparison: imagine you had to transform your dict to
JSON every time some function wanted a dict as input. And had to
transform returned JSON strings in to dicts.
I think Path vs. string is similarly different to justify
saying so (especially when treating user input). [...]
Thus, strings that look like paths (as strings) actually will have
multiple internal representations, similarly to the way that a dict
can have multiple serializations.
I don't follow. When dealing with the file system one passes a string*
representing the path of the object one wants -- pretty much the same
string that was passed in to Path.

* or bytes, but the same sameness, really.
