[Bug 243177] open(2): Add O_CREATFIFO flag

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=243177

--- Comment #5 from Ronald F. Guilmette <rfg-freebsd@tristatelogic.com> ---
At this point, after waiting more than 4.75 years for anyone to even just look
at this PR, I'm not inclined to spend much time debating the merits of
implementing something like the suggested O_CREATFIFO flag.  I will just offer
the (closing?) observation that the O_CREAT flag was created for a very good
reason and that reason, it seems to me, must necessarily apply equally well to
both regular files AND fifos.  I am not seeing a clear argument to the
contrary.
