Fwiw, I happen to think that this is a Good Thing, and I am not alone:

    http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=791771+793951+/usr/local/www/db/text/2001/cvs-all/20010107.cvs-all

    This is a crutch, not a cure. The fundamental problem here is that
    open() mixes information about the type of operation to perform with
    the name of the file on which to perform that operation - which is
    very poor API design. My advice is to use sysopen() consistently
    except for these two cases: open(PIPE, "-|") and open(PIPE, "|-").
