if I'm making a rust type/module that works with paths, what should its arguments be? Path? PathBuf? AsRef<Path>? Deref<Target=Path>? Borrow<Path>? I am confused

AsRef<Path> if you don't need to own the path T: Deref<Target=Foo> is a pretty rare bound.

often I'm just gonna be calling join() on it to make new paths, or navigating up/down the tree, so I only need a &Path for that

is it rare to explicitly use T: Deref b/c Deref provides implicit conversion from &T to &U, and the called function doesn't need to declare a Deref?
