-1 on fssyspath - the "system" representation is bytes on POSIX, but
not on Windows. Let's be explicit and go with fsbytespath().

But agreed that always-constant boolean parameters are a bad idea. The
hard bit is good naming of the separate functions (100% agree that
shutil is a good example of how not to do it :-))
