I disagree, having pathlib support in just one place in stdlib is in fact
what's really inconsistent. Also, I'm pretty sure that sprinkling pathlib
support all over the stdlib isn't going to be pretty.

Hi,
some background about my pathlib usage.
I use the backported version of pathlib and tried to replace the usage of
path.py (also widely used library).
Some features part of path.py missing in pathlib:
- expanduser, expandvars, I have to use the os functions to do this.

+1 for the context manager ideas. Anything that is like a resource should
be available as a context manager.

the new api before jumping to implementation.

#1. A context manager for temporary files and dirs (that cleans ever
