Even without platform differences, limits on the value of parameters really
ought to be in the docstring, which is available to inspect. If you're asking
for a more specific convention that could actually be used, that still probably
still needs to be written.

Isn't it more Pythonic to simply call the function and an alternative path
to handle the exception, anyway? Half of os needs to be tested for
NotImplementedError or OSError if it's going to run anywhere outside the
development environment anyway, otherwise you're stuck with only the most
basic func
IMO it is up to the offending module to provide an API for advertising
which variant of those functions is accepted. This seems out of scope for
inspect.

I don't quite get the point for .supports_stuff. It seems
well-intentioned but misguided.
