[issue38222] pathlib Path objects should support __format__

[Eric V. Smith]

(I think you're missing "date=" in the call to .format().)

Could you show what you think this would look like if Path.__format__ existed? I don't think anyone's suggesting that path.format() would be added by this issue, but maybe that would be a reasonable proposal as a different issue.
