That would tie Path objects deeply into the parser and compiler,
which I'm not sure is a good idea.

Also, it would be stretching the string-prefix concept considerably.
Currently, the prefixes just represent different ways of specifying
a string -- the end result is still always an instance of str.
In this proposal, it would be a different type of object with
greatly different behaviour.

Not sure whether I feel positively or negatively about this,
so +0j.
