Look at the other interfaces.  I've proposed them for POSIX and they are
going to be in the next revision (O_CLOEXEC, F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC).  I'm
confident that whatever we'll do will be endorsed this way.  It's just
too late for the next revision, it'd have to wait a few years until work
on the next revision (esp reviews) start.  That's too long.
