[issue38222] pathlib Path objects should support __format__

[Brett Cannon]

Brett Cannon <brett at python.org> added the comment:

I'm -1 as PEP 519 created __fspath__ specifically so that pathlib.Path wouldn't be confused as a string by accident. You can also use os.fspath() to get a string representation of the path itself.

I also don't know if Antoine wants to make this sort of call for pathlib anymore as he isn't listed in https://devguide.python.org/experts/ or https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/.github/CODEOWNERS for pathlib anymore (and that was an explicit choice based on code history for the experts index).
