This PR is a follow up on the discussion in pypa/setuptools#4609 (the same changes as presented in setuptools, largely borrowed from the initial comments in pypa/setuptools#4212 and slightly tweaked).
I have not expanded on the why
compatinstead of_compat(the rationale is presented in pypa/setuptools#4609 (comment)), but I can try to add something regarding that too.I have not added anything yet about extracting reusable shims to
jaraco.compat, but that can also be added if necessary.
