os.supports_atfunctions

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().
