Actually this feature looks wrong to me. The args argument is either a sequence containing a program name and arguments, or a command line string. In the first case supporting path-like objects makes sense, and this was supported. But the command line is not a path-like object. It is a concatenation of quoted program name and arguments. Neither operation for path-like objects makes sense for a command line.

I think this change should be reverted.
