Steve and/or Eryk, I was adding some tests for os.readlink() in PR 8740 and I noticed that os.readlink() always returns str on Windows. However, the documentation for os.readlink() says:

    If the path is a bytes object (direct or indirectly), the result will
    be a bytes object.

The question is, should I add support for bytes as part of PR 8740? And what is the best way to implement it? (e.g. use CreateFileA() if PyUnicode_Check(path.object) returns false?)
