For that matter, proposing an O_SAFER to the glibc folks might be worthwhile.

Yes, but better call it O_NONSTD

O_NOSTDFD?

If glibc or the kernel goes into this direction, it would be cool.
Whether gnulib should define this O_SAFER, I'm not sure. We get
some problem with unistd--.h and fcntl--.h: How do we define open()
such that
    open (s, f [, m]) ::= open (s, f | O_SAFER [, m])
That becomes a bit hairy.

... what about creat, too?
