Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:
Open modes "r", "r+", "w", "w+", "a", "a+" are supported by C function fopen()
and similar functions in other languages. Would not "rw" be confusing? Are
there fopen-like functions in other programming languages which support this
mode?
Are there any exam
New submission from Nick Coghlan :
After yet again trying to use "rw" to open a file in read/write mode, having it
fail, and then having to look up the docs to remind myself that the correct
spelling is "r+", I'm finally filing this to suggest we make the obvious "rw"
spelling actually work.
