New submission from Andrés Delfino <adelfino at gmail.com>:
Both fnmatch.fnmatchase and fnmatch.filter (in Unix) do not support path-like objects.
This is inconvenient, for example, when taking advantage of os.scandir and working with os.DirEntry objets.
Also, fnmatch.filter in Windows does support path-like objects, since it uses os.path.normcase (which works with path-like objects), so the change for Unix would add consistency.
I propose for both functions to accept path-like objects, and in the case of fnmatch.filter, to return the path-like object if it matches the pattern (as it does now for Windows).
