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().
Then indeed it's more granular than a parameter being "implemented" or
not. A parameter may have a more restricted or extended meaning on
different operating systems. (sendfile() on files for example).
If you can suggest a representation that can convey this sort of subtle
complexity without being miserable to use, I for one would be very
interested to see it. I suggest that "is_implemented" solves a
legitimate problem in a reasonable way; I wasn't attempting to be all
things to all use cases.
