SQLite Connection should also accept Path

[hasezoey]

Because SQLite wants a path on the filesystem, there should be a way to pass a std::path::Path as a argument instead of just &str to establish a connection

i know that currently establish is from the trait, which probably will not be changed, but there should be a custom function that accepts it

or better it should be AsRef<Path>

Why? because converting a Path to str (or String) is lossy from what i know, because in rust strings must be UTF-8, but paths may not be

I don't think that this is easily possible. Sqlite assumes that paths are either utf-8 or utf-16.

now that i see the sqlite documentation, yes it seems hard to implements, and i dont quite fully understand why sqlite does not accept a non-UTF8 path (which is quite possible in some cases)
