Remove the following methods from pathlib._abc.PathBase:

  • expanduser()
  • hardlink_to()
  • touch()
  • chmod()
  • lchmod()
  • owner()
  • group()
  • from_uri()
  • as_uri()

These operations aren't regularly supported in virtual filesystems, so they don't win a place in the PathBase interface. (Some of them probably don't deserve a place in Path :P.) They're quasi-abstract (except lchmod()), and they're not called by other PathBase methods.

Remove the following methods from `pathlib._abc.PathBase`:

- `expanduser()`
- `hardlink_to()`
- `touch()`
- `chmod()`
- `lchmod()`
- `owner()`
- `group()`
- `from_uri()`
- `as_uri()`

These operations aren't regularly supported in virtual filesystems, so they
don't win a place in the `PathBase` interface. (Some of them probably don't
deserve a place in `Path` :P.) They're quasi-abstract (except `lchmod()`),
and they're not called by other `PathBase` methods.
