Hello,

I think it would be a good idea to allow Pathname objects to be created
in the same alternative way Set objects can be created:

Pathname['abc']

In current Ruby implementations a slightly different approach is used:

Pathname('abc')

The current approach requires to register a global method which I
consider bad style. Therefore I would like to get rid of the current
method and implement the proposed one.

I wrote a patch that does exactly that. Also I did mark the global
Pathname() method deprecated by sending a warning on usage. 

My pull request can be found here: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/61

I've also written a patch for rubyspec which tests the new method and
runs at least in MRI 1.9.2 and 1.9.3. It does although not test for the
deprecation warnings, because Brian Ford wouldn't accept the patch if it
would do so. It is available here:
