FFM supported in GraalVM Native Image

Hi,
This can be a bit out of scope, but I wonder if there is a plan to
support FFM in GraalVM Native Image.
The original issue is that I want to resolve "~username" to the real
absolute path, and I don't find anything that can achieve this in JDK.
Instead, it's supported in POSIX with getpwnam_r and pw_dir. So, I'd
like to use FFM to access these functions (instead of JNI and
distribute multiple classifiers for many platforms).
Then, another object I'd like to achieve is packaging my lib into a
GraalVM Native Image, so it should be considered if FFM will be
supported in that technology in a future version.
Alternatively, if JDK provides interfaces to support more POSIX
manipulations, it would be more than desired.
Looking forward to your feedback.
Best,
tison.
