My conclusion is that these changes are not optional and tweaking
os, io and shutil is just yet another workaround for a clean

Is the clean solution to re-implement EVERYTHING in the stdlib that
involves a path in a new, fancy pathlib way?
If we were starting from scratch, I _might_ like that idea, but we're
not starting from scratch. And that would cement in pathlib itself,
leaving no room for other path implementations. kind of like how the
pre-__Index__ python cemented in python integers as the only objects
once could use to index a sequence.
I cannot remember us using another datetime library. So, I don't value
this "advantage" as much as you do.
Best,
Sven
