However do not set that option permanently (and also disable RemoveSemicolon by
default), since the clang-format manual states that these options can lead to
incorrect formatting and thus their result should be carefully reviewed.

Bug introduced in 79128ea9.

In Sphinx 8, returned filesystem path objects are no longer extended to have
implicit string conversion methods. The conversion to a string must now be made
explicitly.

See this entry in the changelog for Sphinx 8.0:

 #12650, #12686, #12690: Extend the deprecation for string methods on
 :py:class:`~pathlib.Path` objects to Sphinx 9. Use :py:func:`os.fspath` to
 convert :py:class:`~pathlib.Path` objects to strings, or
 :py:class:`~pathlib.Path`'s methods to work with path objects. Patch by Adam
 Turner.

Closes #1948

Previously, “contains('foo\', '\')” would fail with an error, due to the
antislash not being escaped when calling the “regexp” function. Same for other
special characters in regular expressions (e.g. the dollar sign).

In particular, this bug would make Dynare unusable with Octave under
Windows (since commit e9d79796), because
Windows paths typically contain antislashes.

Make compatible the outputs of the online particle filter with the Dynare...
