I'm not sure Python *can* change its behaviour in this case. How would
it know which shell (cmd or msys/cygwin) it was launched from?

Also, even if it could figure that out, how would it know whether a
particular filename "stringification" with os.path.join() was intended
for display to the user or to be passed to a Windows API?
