@martindurant exactly, os.PathLike just uses duck-typing, which fsspec matches.

This generally means you can't pass s3fs/gcsfs files into xr.open_dataset (from what I've tried so far). (I don't know if you actually should be able to do this, but regardless, the error would be very confusing to a new user.)
