The functionality to test if a location is on the path currently relies on normpath, as can be seen here.
However, normpath is not symlink-aware. This means that if a symlink to a directory is on the path, userpath will report that the actual location of that directory is not on the path, which can cause issues like pipxproject/pipx#329.
