I think I'm missing something here because the idea of doing `path = str(path)` at the API boundary for an old function to support both Path and str objects for paths seems fairly minimal. Only when manipulating a path is wanting a Path object going to come up, and in that case can't you just do `path = pathlib.Path(path)` instead?
