I interpret "path object is not a string." to mean that a Pathname is not generally considered equivalent to a String. It's the same reasoning why some classes have #to_i but not #to_int - they can be converted to an int - but they do not represent an integer value. A Pathname is at best a very special form of String (i.e. one with certain restrictions with regard to the structure). > (2) Any good reason why I shouldn't work around this by implementing my > own Pathname#to_str to call to_s?

But the real problem is that I > doubt I can find them all; it's pervasive in my code. My solution would be to use the Pathname instance methods for various file related operations (e.g. opening of the file) instead of using File.open(pathname). That is much more OO and also in some cases probably less error prone. If you actually need a String somewhere I'd rather explicitly invoke Pathname#to_s for exactly the reason to make it explicit that a conversion takes place.
