What are usage stories for that? I see the immediate one to provide
"bitness" info as:
1. Python process bitness
2. OS bitness
3. CPU bitness

What will be the serialization of PlatformInfo to JSON? Looks like it is
serialized into string now and that string has some pretty limited values.
What is the full list, by the way - is it possible to dump it?

I'd wrap it an upload as a separate project to PyPI, because this bitness
stuff is a pretty common need even for building Python extensions.
