Now that Windows 10++ will run Ubuntu apps, will Python be able to tell 
the difference for when it should return Windows-format paths and 
Posix-format paths?

(I'm sure the answer is yes, the Python-for-Ubuntu running on Windows 
would do the latter, and the Python-for-Windows would do the former. 
Although, it is not clear what sys.platform will return, yet...)
