The documentation of Path.match only says it will match a pattern.

But quite often this pattern may be desirable to have as a Path as well.

import pathlib as pl

path = pl.Path("foo/bar")
print(path.match("bar"))
print(path.match(pl.Path("bar")))

However, the last one fails and one has to resort to 

print(path.match(str(pl.Path("bar"))))

which in my opinion is a little misleading.

I couldn't find any other bug/enhancement report of this. Also, this probably also targets later versions.
