Is this a filename that could be an actual, valid filename on your system?

Good question. I believe this holdover from 2.x should be deleted.
I argued that in http://bugs.python.org/issue10114
(which was about a different problem) and now, directly, in
http://bugs.python.org/issue13758

If you (or anyone) can make a better argument for the requested change, 
or for also changing compile on *nix, than I did, please do so.
