Whereas most calls to `os` functions from `pathlib.Path` methods happen via `pathlib._Accessor` methods, retrieving the current working directory does not. This problem occurs when calling the `pathlib.Path.cwd()`, `~resolve()` and `~absolute()` methods.

Sorry, I cannot catch what is the problem of not use _Accesor on PurePath class

Those methods are non-pure, i.e. part of `Path` but not `PurePath`. Only impure paths have accessors. The `_Accessor` docstring says: "an accessor implements a particular (system-specific or not) way of accessing paths on the filesystem". This abstraction is pretty pointless if covers `os.readlink()` but not `os.getcwd()`!
