fileinput otherwise works fine with pathlib.Path filenames, but when inplace is set to True, the Path object needs to be converted to a str first, or appending a str suffix with + would fail:

import fileinput
import pathlib
with fileinput.input(files=(pathlib.Path('in.txt'),), inplace=True) as fp:
    for line in fp:
        print(line, end='')

=>

os.fspath is preferred over str().

This also needs tests. I don't know what the existing tests look like.

inplace is set to True, the Path object needs to be converted to a str
first, or appending a str suffix with + would fail.
