What it does

Checks whether a &str is wrapped in Path::new before being passed to a function that accepts impl AsRef<Path>. So somewhat similar to needless_borrow

Advantage

• more concise
• avoids the import

Drawbacks

can't think of any...

Example

std::fs::write(Path::new("foo.txt"), "foo");

Could be written as:

std::fs::write("foo.txt", "foo");
