Good point.

Well, then __fspath__ for me.


I knew instantly what it means especially considering btrfs, ntfs, xfs, 
zfs, etc.

Furthermore, we MIGHT later want some URI support, so I don't know off 
the top of my head if there's a difference between __fspath__ and 
__urlpath__ but better separate it now. Later we can re-merge then if 
necessary.


Best,
Sven
