Not to derail the conversation too much, as I know we're all getting 
burned out on the topic, but that last bit is not accurate: my druthers 
are to have __fspath__ be able to return str /or/ bytes, and if anything 
else comes from the object in question an exception must be raised. 
Maybe a word got lost between your thoughts and your fingers -- happens 
to me all the time.  :)
