|A couple of the `open(2)` flags on Linux don't have corresponding File:: constants:

|* O_DIRECT
|* O_DIRECTORY

We haven't made up a policy for platform specific constants.  Opinions
are welcome.

|* O_CLOEXEC

Is this really needed?

|* O_LARGEFILE
|
|We already handle large-file support automatically, so this can be ignored, too.

Agreed.
