Issue #16688 has been updated by akr (Akira Tanaka).
I'm positive.
It would be useful for most options for `spawn`.
(except open mode, "w" of `system("ls", out: ["/tmp/foo", "w"])`)

Feature #16688: Allow #to_path object as argument to system()
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/16688#change-84991

----------------------------------------
I often work with Pathname objects, but when passing them to a system command I find it a bit tedious that they have to be explicitly converted to a String.
```ruby
file = BASE + "config.json"
system(@cmd, file) #=> TypeError (no implicit conversion of Pathname into String)
system(@cmd, file.to_s) #=> works
```
I propose that the system/exec/spawn family of methods should try to convert their arguments using `to_path`, if `to_str` fails. I believe it makes perfect sense, since commandline arguments are so often pathnames.
This includes in/out redirection. `system("ls", out: Pathname.new("file"))` should be valid.
