Did you consider that the hard-wired readline hook
`_PyOS_WindowsConsoleReadline` won't be needed in future if
http://bugs.python.org/issue17620 gets resolved so the default hook on
Windows just reads from sys.stdin? This would also reduce code duplicity
and all the Read/WriteConsoleW stuff would be gathered together in one
special class.
