Come on, Ethan, that summary was not for you ;) It was for lazy
people, people with bad memory, or people not so involved in the
topic. I wrote a big post, provided new arguments, with other points
collected into the same logical framework, wrote a new version of
os.fspath and argued why it is the right one --- and all you do is
read the stupid summary. You can do better than that: read the whole
thing! ;-).
