New submission from David Barnett:
There doesn't seem to be any helper in pathlib to expand a relative path to an
absolute path *without* resolving symlinks.
For example, if I want to convert
pathlib.Path('some/path')
to
pathlib.Path('/full/path/to/some/path')
where some/path is a symlink, my best option seems to be
pathlib.Path(os.path.abspath(str(pathlib.Path('some/path'))))
