There are such variables, but which one you should be using depends on
why you want to know. For instance, is it really the platform you
want to know, or is it the window system? Should this test return the
same value for any emacs running in osx (terminal, x11, carbon), or
should it return different values for those three cases?
In short, what is it you're trying to accomplish with this test?
