Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr> added the comment:

If it's just additional constants then I don't see the problem. We already have 
a lot of platform-specific constants.

However, it would be a lot better if the io module were made to work properly 
with these constants, too. There are a lot of places where we hardcode tests 
such as `whence == SEEK_SET` or even `whence == 0`, and whence values above 2 
aren't generally considered.

So the patch is probably a bit less trivial than what you imagine :)
