This seems like a reasonable thing to have in general, but I wonder if
you have an example of how people use this. Mostly I am wondering:
- is it sometimes a misuse, where users _think_ that the OS is
correlated with some feature of Git. And they would be better off
with some flag like "does the current platform support fsmonitor".
- for cases where it really is "uname -s" the best differentiator? Or
would they commonly want to lump FreeBSD and Linux into the same
category, or to tell the difference between Debian versus Fedora?
