type of path parameter in pkgutil.iter_modules #13636

I'm not sure whether this is the right place to ask the following question. If not, I'd be happy to ask it and/or look elsewhere! I could not find an answer searching this forum or typeshed issues, however a related issue might be #6650.

The path parameter in pkgutil.iter_modules is typed as Iterable[str]. However iter_modules also accepts a pathlib.Path, which seems consistent with the call to os.fsdecode in get_importer (accepting PathLike). Am I missing something in how this is typed or is this somehow inconsistent?
