Description
- A brief description
I want the WSL to automatically make a unix user for my windows user, (kerberos) and I want it to automatically log me in as that user unless I specify otherwise.
I want my WSL home directory to be my Windows user home directory (just like cygwin, mingw)
So I can share my ~/.ssh/config and ~/.vimrc etc
I just don't want to be exposed to the idea that "WSL has separate users" unless I want to be.

Research direction
The issue names no implementation files, tests, or entry points, so begin by locating WSL's user-creation, login, and home-directory handling. Define completion as automatic creation and login for the Windows user, Windows-home mapping, shared configuration access, and an explicit way to use another user.
