`Path('~').resolve()` gives `PosixPath('/home/youruser/~')`.
Same problem for `.absolute`, yet `.expanduser` works correctly.

Only Path.expanduser() special cases tilde as a POSIX shell would. Otherwise "~" is not a reserved filename character in POSIX. Path('~') is a file named "~" that's relative to the current working directory. By coincidence the working directory is the user's home directory in your example.
