Although I saw patch, compatibility is maintained now or it cannot have confidence. ex) OK even if String#to_path is defined after constructing expand_path? I think reasonable to change specification to stop calling to_path when it is T_STRING. shirosaki-san, sasada-san, endoh-san, what do you think? Best regards,
