So far I've been keen to keep the Path and AbstractPath APIs the same, but perhaps this case warrants an exception. What if AbstractPath lacked both home() and expanduser(), and those methods only existed on Path? Of all the methods on Path, these two are the least useful for non-local filesystems. We can then circle back round to this issue when the fate of expanduser() becomes clearer. Does that sound any good?

What if AbstractPath lacked both home() and expanduser(), and those methods only existed on Path? Of all the methods on Path, these two are the *least* useful for non-local filesystems.

We can then circle back round to this issue when the fate of expanduser() becomes clearer.

Does that sound any good?
