pathlib.Path.home() don't support the user argument for reasons.

The main problem is that os.path.expanduser() for other users is faked on Windows. It uses guessing, and perhaps it returns correct result in most cases. But in non-standard situations, if current user or other users have non-default home directory, it returns wrong result. I don't know wherever it works for users with non-ascii names or names containing special characters.
