I need to confirm that it was my fault and for non-empty strings (`" "` or `"
"`), both `os.path.isdir(...)` and `Path(...).is_dir()` produce the same
results.So sorry for the noise.

Concerning the case with empty path string, I will open a ticket at the bug
tracker (but for some reason it is blocked in my country :(
https://isitblockedinrussia.com/?host=https%3A%2F%2Fbugs.python.org%2F).
Obviously
these are not equivalent forms, so either this should be noted in the
documentation or corrected in the code.
