Yes. Default the pragma differently on win32 or unix but
allow it to be set to the other explicitly, or directly
through subroutine names such as CORE::sysread_bytes
and CORE::sysread_chars and so on and so forth, modulo
current practice of course. The pragma simply reassigns
*CORE::sysread to \&CORE::sysread_something_or_other
and furthermore, -w complains when you use any of the
internal sysread functions in your code.
