Well, separate description for it will be good too, thank you, I will add it.

However, I'm also thinking maybe there is a way to put this invocation form
(with mode_t argument) in the synopsis section? I discovered that mode_t
argument used to be mentioned in there in early versions of FreeBSD. The last
version I found it in is FreeBSD 2.2.7-RELEASE
(https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=open&apropos=0&sektion=2&manpath=FreeBSD+2.2.7-RELEASE&arch=default&format=html),
but then it disappeared. Was there a reason for that? So maybe return it? And
then a "reminder" I'm talking about will be present (it'll be even better
because it will be in the very top of the page) and then we can remove extra
information that I initially suggested from section of short flag descriptions
and instead of that add a separate one below. What do you think?

If it's OK, I'll do the changes and send a patch.
