It's very hacky on all of Windows, Unix, and OS X. That's why I don't feel 
confident to propose a solution.

On Unix, specifically, the return value is heavily based on os.uname(). It 
seems that the maintainers of OS X have started with the same but then chose to 
diverge and instead use a list of values.
