Adding a os.haveopenat seems more reasonable than adding isimplemented to every signature object. And more useful, as well; it provides a much more specific piece of information.
We already have "os.have_openat"; it's spelled sysconfig.get_config_var('HAVE_OPENAT'). But, assuming I land issue 14626, this leads us to:
Q: Can I use the dir_fd parameter to os.open?
A: Only if sysconfig.get_config_var('HAVE_OPENAT') is true.
Q: Can I use the fd parameter to os.utime?
A: Only if sysconfig.get_config_var('HAVE_FUTIMENS') or
sysconfig.get_config_var('HAVE_FUTIMES') is true.I feel this interface lacks civility.
