While I originally disliked the idea, I think this is a genuine usability issue on Windows that would be worth addressing. However, it's a significant enough change that I believe it needs a PEP and a reasonably long transition period before anything actually breaks.

I'd be happy to write and champion such a PEP if that's the way forward.
