IMO, special-casing a test is only a good idea if that is done for
reasons unrelated to the behavior being tested. It makes no sense to
me to special-case a test in order to make failure look like success.
It's a slippery slope: once we go that way, before long we will have
to special-case real code, where the problematic behavior matters.
There's no real reason to special-case Windows in this case, because
its behavior doesn't really differ that much from Posix. There's a
small difference in syntax, but the concepts are all the same.
We should fix this, not paper over it.
