xPath to implement all operations for Path
 I think https://github.com/fsspec/universal_pathlib is the project you are looking for.

`xPath` has the methods often used in dataset scripts, and `mkdir` is not one of them (`dl_manager`'s role is to "interact" with the file system, so using `mkdir` is discouraged). Right is there a difference between UPath and xPath? Typically is xPath less well implemented compared to Upath, ie missing some implementations of some methods? Or are there methods in xPath that are not implemented with UPath? `xPath` is an internal component (it doesn't have a leading underscore in the name, but it should) not meant to be used outside of `datasets`, and it's only tested on HTTP URLs, not S3.

 Okay I understand that xPath won't support my usecase. What I was perhaps getting to is why not use UPath in `datasets` instead of `xPath` if UPath seems to have strictly more robust implementations. It seems like `universal_pathlib` does not support `fsspec` URL chaining (`::` is the chaining symbol) and "compression" filesystems (e.g., `zip`), but this is what we need to access and stream files from within an archive (e.g., we want to stream URLs such as this one: `zip://data.parquet::https://www.dummyurl.com/archive.zip`)
### Feature request

Current xPath implementation is a great extension of Path in order to work with remote objects. However some methods such as `mkdir` are not implemented correctly. It should instead rely on `fsspec` methods, instead of defaulting do `Path` methods which only work locally.

### Motivation

I'm using xPath to interact with remote objects.

### Your contribution

I could try to make a PR. I'm a bit unfamiliar with chaining right now.
