Hi folks,
I'd be interested in contributing to this issue, since it seems "easy" enough, 
but I'm unsure that consensus was reached about the right solution.

For Windows though, I'm unsure. It appears, we'd need kernel-mode-enabled 
clients to do this and maybe that's enough to discourage this effort altogether.

So it appears we have 3 options then:
1. Implement a new function that copies ownership in linux+mac but not in 
Windows. Then to document that difference.
2. Implement a new function that copies ownership in linux+mac, then use the 
native NT API to achieve the same result in Windows. Document the limitations
3. Just document the existing limitations.

Do we have a preference? I do not, just excited to potentially contribute 
something :) 

Thanks!
