That's why I was asking for an actual patch. The proposed change may
well not be implementable. If os.open continues to create CRT handles,
a way needs to be found to get a CRT handle that as the
FILE_SHARE_DELETE bit set.

An alternative approach could be that os.open stops creating CRT
handles, and directly uses OS handles. The problem with that is that
stdin/stdout/stderr would stop being 0/1/2, which is not acceptable.
An alternative solution to that could be that we introduce a notion
of "python io handles", parallel, but indepedendent from CRT handles.
And so on.
