[Python-Dev] PEP 362: 4th edition

-1 implemented
It appears to target the problem of platform-dependent parameters.
However as was discussed previously, much more common than a parameter
simply not being supported on a platform is a parameter supporting
different values on different platforms. As such, I think that it
solves too small a sub-set of the problem that it attacks to be
useful. Raising exceptions solves the problem.
Furthermore, whether a parameter is implemented or not is not properly
a part of the callable's signature. It's a part of the function's
internals.
