Make web::Path innards public#3588
Conversation
So we can do something like this:
```
async fn delete_channel_message(
web::Path((channel_id, message_id)): web::Path<(Snowflake, Snowflake)>,
) {
// here channel_id and message_id are Snowflakes,
// and not web::Path<Snowflake>
}
```
Dunno why other web types are public and this is not.

The thing we were seeing in v3.x was users reporting confusion using this type without destructuring because the Deref impl allowed access to tuple elements like |

Okey, I get it. |

No rush. Like I say, this will need to wait for v5.0. |
@robjtede: Deref impl [with public Path contents] allowed access to tuple elements like path.1 but then path.0.1 also worked so it was weird.
