100% agreed.

I fully agree that such a change, if done, must be done in an
unrelated patch.
It is funny that the code is already prepared for such a case where
RDWR is defined as RDONLY|WRONLY. I wonder if we wrote the series
of comparisons in this order on purpose, or we were just lucky, when
we did 3ff53df7 (wrapper: implement xopen(), 2015-08-04) ;-)

Yes, indeed, this is nicely done.
