I should add that this is part of a plan to spin out some `Path` methods into a 
new `UserPath` class. Notably, in this case, `UserPath.expanduser()` will call 
`self.home()` under-the-hood. This is done to reduce the surface area of 
abstract methods that subclasses of `UserPath` need implement. More discussion 
here: https://discuss.python.org/t/make-pathlib-extensible/3428
