I like fspath because it looks like os.fsencode() and os.fsdecode().

Please no builtin function, we have enough of them, but make sure that the fspath is accepted in all functions expecting a filename.

If you consider that a function would make your change simpler, I suggest to add os.fspath():

if isinstance(obj, str): return obj try: return obj.fspath except AttributeError: raise TypeError(...)
