My _opinion_, is that first prize would be converting existing instances
of ENOTSUPP in this file to EOPNOTSUPP. And then use EOPNOTSUPP going
forward. And that second prize would be for your patch to use ENOTSUPP.
Because I think there is a value consistency.

But I do see why you have done things the way you have.
And I don't necessarily think it is wrong.
