[issue31961] subprocess._execute_child doesn't accept a single PathLike argument for args

What do you mean "is a bug", and "the PR would encourage this"? Can't it be fixed?

Are you saying that just because it is a bug now, we should be discouraged from making it work in the way you'd expect it to work?

If `exe` is a path, these two lines of code should do exactly the same, right? It seems unintuitive to me if they produce different results.

run(exe)
run([exe])
