Exactly.
When I started hunting down all those places where O_CLOEXEC would be
the proper approach I came to the same exact same conclusion.
There would be a whole lot of pointless complexity due to open()+fdopen()
being replicated all over the place.

Key value pairs have nothing to do with the order of the flags as
long as the value always follows the key flag character(s).
Proper free flow left to right parse would be much more flexible.
So, I remain a bit suspicious about strict ordering of the flags.
> I also added code to use the 'e' option for freopen() and fdopen().
Splendid.
