As Jason pointed out elsewhere, the strict typechecks that exist *in* the
Python core, and the fact that path.py is *outside* that core makes the
workaround of subclassing string necessary.
Since the PEP process has the power to alter the *core*, then we have other
options than "this is a string, only not".
Cheers,
Nick.
