After all, we want something that's *almost* exclusively str.
But we don't want that, AFAICT. Some clearly want this API to be
unbiased against bytes in the same way the os APIs are unbiased[2],
because that's what we've got in the current proposal.
Are we reading the same thread? For my last several replies I am very
biased against bytes (and I know I'm not the only one).
Just not so biased that I'm unwilling to let clients say, "No, I'm
really okay with getting bytes back".
I really like Koos' ideas because they allow the client to say:
- I only want str
- I only want bytes
- I'm okay with either
If the client says "I'm okay with either" then I fully expect the client
to have code to properly handle str vs bytes after the fspath (or
whatever it's called) call.
