New submission from Steven D'Aprano <steve+pyt...@pearwood.info>:

See #37515.

Perhaps Windows builds can check for reserved file names and give a more 
descriptive error message in the event of IO error?

(Eryksun also mentions two reserved names which Microsoft apparently does not 
document: "CONIN$" and "CONOUT$".)
