In essence, you will force me to pre- wrap all RichPath objects in either os.fsencode(os.fspath(path)) or os.fsdecode(os.fspath(path)), just so I can reason about the type.

This is only the case if you have a singular RichPath object that can represent both bytes and str (which is what DirEntry does, which I agree makes it harder… but that’s already the case with DirEntry.path). However that’s not the case if you have a bRichPath and uRichPath.
