      Proposal:

      • Introduce os.path.fileuri() function that produces a 'file://' URI
      • Adjust PurePosixPath.to_uri() to call posixpath.fileuri()
      • Adjust PureWindowsPath.to_uri() to call ntpath.fileuri()
      • Adjust nturl2path.pathname2url() to call ntpath.fileuri()

      Rationale:

      • pathlib is 95% a wrapper around os and os.path. It implements
        little itself except the OOP interface. as_uri() is one of only a
        tiny handful of pathlib features that have no decent antecedents.
      • the existence of these OS-specific features complicates pathlib's
        internals, necessitating the existence of OS-specific '_Flavour'
        classes that greatly complicate work on bpo-24132
      • this is a useful feature with lots of stackoverflow posts. It seems
        silly to /require/ users to use pathlib for this, as the rest of their
        codebase may work just fine using traditional path manip.
