There seems not to be any document about path as a type.

Altough it is confirmed that path is a type and a command simutaneously. Types of Data does not include path, and path only regards itself as a command.

Technically path is not a type. You can see the nushell types here:

https://github.com/fdncred/nushell/blob/main/crates/nu-protocol/src/ty.rs#L9-L37

It is a SyntaxShape as you can see here:

https://github.com/fdncred/nushell/blob/main/crates/nu-protocol/src/syntax_shape.rs#L7-L119

and here:

https://github.com/fdncred/nushell/blob/main/crates/nu-parser/src/parser.rs#L2685-L2765

I'm not sure all of these can be used as "shapes" in custom commands. I thought there was another list for custom commands, but I can't seem to find it now. Maybe someone else has an idea.

The real X question is that I want to define the shape of an argument of an extern command stow as directories only so that I can complete the command with directories names only. So I want to check the document of the "type" path to see whether I can find the appropriate type.
