=begin
The Dir class does not have a #to_path method. This means that although it calls #to_path on arguments it expects to be directories, its instances cannot be used as such arguments. The File class has #to_path as an alias for #path.

The attached trivial patch simply adds an alias for Dir#path named Dir#to_path.

Before:

Dir.entries(Dir.new('/tmp')).size
TypeError: can't convert Dir into String
from (irb):2:in open' from (irb):2:in entries'
from (irb):2
from /usr/local/bin/irb:12:in `'

After:

Dir.entries(Dir.new('/tmp')).size
=> 245
=end
