no, 'cos it's fine to try again, just as long as you haven't already
written anything. (and i'll bet that's by far the most common failure
mode).
> down that path lies madness...
hmm. maybe.
however we're already admitting a qualititive difference in types of
file by using the -o option as it is. (oh no, danger! danger! file
seek thread trying to re-establish; apologies!)
at least when you're creating a file, you're reasonably sure you can
seek on it ok (although of course that's not the case for >{}).
i think the default case should be not to seek, because that
will produce less surprises.
