If you think that it may be useful to bypass some other functions, and
you want to use the same option to control that then a general name like
that makes sense. Personally, I don't believe that we may want to bypass
something like open() as it is not performance critical, but I said
above I don't care about the name much, so I am going to change my patch
to use ignoreCygwinFSTricks.
