[issue4708] os.pipe should return inheritable descriptors (Windows)

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor added the comment:

Changing the default inheritance value of os.pipe() is not acceptable because it would break backward compatibility.

Giving access to Windows extra parameter is nice, but we have to find a way to propose a portable API. That's what I'm trying to do with the PEP 446 (and it's previous version, the PEP 433).
