Topic: Connected, but not path-connected space

I have just been idly wondering (this came up in our Math Support Center, where my wife is working) whether there is a formalization in Lean of the standard fact that the subset of the plane given as
is connected, but not path-connected?
This is one of the more difficult standard exercises in a first year Analysis course (in Germany). Maybe a more precise question is how to best translate the necessary arguments to Lean, in particular for the "not path-connected" part.

I would be surprised if we have it. mathlib has very few counter-examples like this

However, we do have a counterexamples
directory where such a result could live

... but apparently it doesn't.
