Let's start in 3.6 with all this. I added path to 3.4 because I didn't realize it was in security-mode only. I've now undone all my work there. Let's not disturb it again, not even its docs.

I don't think there's an "upstream" repo for pathlib (like there still is for asyncio) and I don't think there's much of a point in supporting fspath in pathlib if there's no os.fspath(). It would only encourage hackery in apps that want to play with fspath.

WFM. I'll let 3.4 and 3.5 just stay as they are and make all PEP 519 changes a 3.6 thing.

I'll update the implementation task list shortly.
