PurePath.match accepts a PurePath pattern only since Python 3.12 #112758
Description
Documentation
In the docs on PurePath.match(pattern, *, case_sensitive=None) on pathlib, it says:
The pattern may be another path object; this speeds up matching the same pattern against multiple files:
But it doesn't say that pattern can only be a path object since Python 3.12.
For example, on Python 3.11, you get this error when trying to use a PurePath as the pattern:
Python 3.11.6 (main, Oct 18 2023, 12:13:43) [GCC 9.4.0] on linux

>>> from pathlib import PurePath
>>> pattern = PurePath("*.py")
>>> PurePath("hello.py").match(pattern)
