Description
Description
Currently, applications relying on realpath cannot be virtualized using VFS as realpath is supported for real file pathes only.
This is a feature request to allow realpath to be implemented by a custom stream wrapper.
Preferably explicitly (if a method is implemented) and implicitly (if a method is not implemented) assuming one VFS scheme represents one file system.

Research direction
Start by tracing how realpath handles filesystem paths and how custom stream wrappers are dispatched. Define the explicit and implicit wrapper behavior described in the issue, then add coverage showing that realpath can be virtualized for a VFS scheme.
