…i.e. the inverse of PathName.

Is this really not already present? Although I'm not sure how common it is in Perl/Tk programs, there's multiple places internally where …->Widget($path) might be more useful instead of duplicating several lines each time to look up something from the widgets hash.

Not sure if this can be implemented by relying on …->interp->widget(); there likely also has to be a check for whether the path exists. I would like to know how Perl/Tk implements …->Widget() before proceeding (edit: see Widget() in Tk.xs, WidgetRef() in tkGlue.c).
