    Under-the-hood functionality in pathlib is divided between:

    • The 'flavour', which implements path syntax (separators, casefolding, etc)
    • The 'accessor', which accesses the local (file)system.

    The '_WindowsFlavour/_PosixFlavour.resolve()' function is misplaced, as it requires OS calls such as os.getcwd(), os.readlink(), and nt._getfinalpathname(). While the implementation does differ across Windows and POSIX, it's still properly part of the accessor interface, and not the flavour interface.

    In preparation for addressing bpo-24132 I'd like to get these interfaces really tidy. Once bpo-39899 is fixed, this will be the last remaining flavour method that does accessor-y things.
