Everything else has __str__ too, so you run the risk of open(["Hello", "World"], "w") working and doing something weird. Or of passing an open file object to something that was expecting a file name, and having *that* work too. Calling str(p) on something that ought to be either a Path or a string should raise an exception if given something else.
