So, I added docs, mentioning the getattr(arg, 'path', arg) idiom, and (for 3.5 and 3.6) also cross-referencing with DirEntry. I'm not sure whether to now close this issue or whether to leave it open to remind people of adding patches using the new idiom to various stdlib modules. Opinions? Also, since pathlib is provisional, I felt okay with adding this to 3.4.5 and 3.5.2.
