Interesting. I had this thought half a year ago. Quite recently I 
mentioned this to Andrew in a private conversation.


p'/etc/hosts' would make a perfect path which subclassed from str.


The p-string idea has not been discussed in the PEP I think. The 
subclassing thing however was and I think its resolution was a mistake. 
The explanation, at least from my point of view, is a bit weird.

Maybe, this can be re-discussed in a separate thread? Especially when 
different people think independently of the same issue and the same 
solution.


Best,
Sven
