Well, objects implementing the Paths method usually also set is_curve to
true and therefore implement AsBezier as well. If is_curve is true,
Sketch assumes that the "Convert to Curve" command works. Unfortunately
it won't work for the InternalPathText object because the parent is not
a normal group. While it could be made to work I never got around to it.

The pdf export filter shows how to export a path text object without the
Paths method.
