Huh? I though the strings were a OS-independent, human readable
serialization and interchange format.

Bytes would be the OS-dependent serialization.

But yes, I suppose the file-system-level version would be inodes or something.

But this is a string that represents a path, thus __pathstr__. And the
term "path" is used all over the place (including os.path and pathlib)
for this particular type of path, so I don't see why we need the "fs"
or "os", other than the fact that __path__ is already taken.

But I'm looking forward to using this bike shed regardless of its
color, so that's the last I'll comment on that.
