>>> Adding a method to WindowsPath to encode the path using UTF-8 is okay but I don't think we should be caching it as the encoding for sun_path is an outlier on Windows. I'm also a bit dubious about encoding a relative path when the resolved path (before encoding) is > 247 chars. The documentation on the MS site isn't very completely and I think there are a number points that require clarification to fully understand how this will work with relative, directly relative and drive relative paths.

This would mean that the patch shouldn't need to add UnixUserGroup (the main issue is that class is that it means we end up with two classes with static factory methods doing the same thing).
