OT:

To be honest, I do think it feels like URL:s are becoming (or have become)
just as important as paths, and that pathlib.Path should in the future work
with URLs just like it now works with windows and posix paths. The
difference between "http://domain.xyz/" and "C:\\" is not huge. I also
think there should be a Python type (stdlib or builtin), which handles JSON
objects nicer than dicts do and has its own literal syntax.
