It seems like it would be reasonable for pathlib.Path to call fspath on the
path passed to pathlib.Path.__init__, which would mean that if other libraries
implemented __fspath__ then you could pass their path objects to pathlib and
it would just work (and similarly, if they also called fspath it would enable
interoperation between all of the various path libraries).
