Does anyone anticipate any classes other than those from pathlib to come with such a method?

It seems like it would be reasonable for pathlib.Path to call fspath on the path passed to pathlib.Path.init, which would mean that if other libraries implemented fspath then you could pass their path objects to pathlib and it would just work (and similarly, if they also called fspath it would enable interoperation between all of the various path libraries).
