Naming consistency: Path/PathBuf

This is a relic of the older StrBuf era i think…

I think it sets up a pretty inconsistent example of naming. Is it possible to rename those somehow?

You can create type aliases, but that's about it I think, we can't actually rename the types because that would be a breaking change.

Heck, if anything I think they’re the ones with the right names; I’d have preferred str and StrBuf. Oh well!
