impl Show for Path?

[liigo]

Path does not impl Show currently.
Sometimes you can't simply use Path.display(), for example:

let path = Some(Path::new("/home/liigo"));
println!("{}", path); // error: failed to find an implementation of trait core::fmt::Show for std::path::windows::Path

This is by design, a Path cannot be shown without risking losing information, so you should think twice before rendering a Path to a string: http://stackoverflow.com/a/24061240/1256624

Your example can be rendered with path.as_ref().map(|p| p.display()). http://is.gd/LP623L

(Closing as not a bug.)

I known this is by design, but I don't known what it resolved by this
design. By using Path::display, you risking losing information too, the
risk just transfer from show to display.
