I'm late to the show here, but I think the whole argument around filepaths needing to potentially be encoded before being presented to end users is a non-issue / how most languages I've worked in have handled it? Does rust have some fancy handling? Sure? Is it syntactic sugar? Absolutely. Maybe I've been working in Web too long, but encoding a value before handing it to the user seems second nature.
