Benjamin, I think you missed the key point: file + matching mode -> fd eaten, object created file + mode mismatch -> fd remains, exception raised dir + matching mode -> fd eaten, exception raised The issue is about resouce (fd) management Thus, how can user code handle the error without either leaking file descriptor or possibly closing someone else's file descriptor?
