The really interesting question is how much pain did that cause when
porting/rewriting software from Unix. creat()/unlink()/work with fd
you'd got from creat() is definitely a common idiom. OTOH, most of
its uses are for situations when you either want remove-on-close
or are messing with shared directories...
How bad it had it actually been?
