It would be surprising to have an object which implements .__len__(), but otherwise doesn't allow any indexing, so -1 on such a change.
set() ? I personally don't have a fundamental problem with something having a size but no indexing.
If Paths ever get indexing, it would also be more natural to have those indexes refer to path components.
Aye, I think the same.
The .__len__() would have to map to the number of path components, not the length of a string representation.
Yes, it would be confusing for len() to measure something different to that measured by a numeric index.
I think this makes me -1 on the proposal, also because str(Path) is so easy to do.
