2. Method or attribute? (changes what kind of one-liner you might use in libraries, but I think historically all protocols have been methods and the serialized string representation might be costly to build)
Having thought about this some more, it seems we have enough dunder attributes that are plain strings that having this one also be a plain string should not be a problem:
- name
- module
- file
Since Paths are immutable the os_path attribute isn't going to change and doesn't need to be a method.
