egid, euid, gid, groups, pgid, pgrp, priority, resgid, sid, uid, xatrr,
hostname, timeout, sockopt are not boolean. Though
get_inheritable() spoils the pot.
Compare:
if os.get_blocking(fd): # is it a bug? Does it return some mode bits?
# Do I need stat.IS_BLK(os.get_blocking(fd)) here instead?
And:
if os.is_blocking(fd):
# it is clear that fd is blocking
There could be an argument that get_inheritable should be renamed to
is_inheritable instead.
