You might as well use `dst.display()`.

Wouldn't that fail silently in the event that the path is non-UTF-8? I
think I'd prefer to explicitly fail in that case, even if it seems
unlikely.

That's the theory, unfortunately, reality is that even the most central
Rust crates don't care:
https://github.com/rust-lang/cc-rs/blob/main/src/lib.rs#L1357-L1360

Even better, last time I tried, cargo or rustc (I don't remember which
one it was) would blatantly fail to work if the path is not UTF-8 in the
first place.
