It would be surprising to have an object which implements .__len__(),

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.
