Description
I'm not sure if this has been brought up, or if something like this already exists in the library, but I thought it would be very helpful to have a comprehensive "path" class. ATL's CPathT is pretty good, but it would be nice to build on that with additional methods pertaining to PathCreateFromUrl, UrlCreateFromPath, SHGetKnownFolderPath, GetModuleFileName, GetTempPath, etc.

Research direction
Start by checking whether WIL already contains a path abstraction, then review the referenced Windows APIs: PathCreateFromUrl, UrlCreateFromPath, SHGetKnownFolderPath, GetModuleFileName, and GetTempPath. The issue names no files, tests, or acceptance criteria, so the supported method set and completion criteria would need to be defined before implementation.
