is gobs nicer than

os.chown.__signature__.parameters['fd'].is_implemented

Not "implementing" all parameters (whatever exactly that means) is not
a very common case for a function, so I don't see what it needs to
pollute a signature object for every Python function.

We can safely agree to disagree here.

Also, it's more granular than that. For example, Python now understands symbolic links on Windows--but only haphazardly at best. The "follow_symlinks" argument works on Windows for os.stat() but not for os.chmod().
