If it works, it was written to do so, so expecting it to work every
time is entirely logical, whether it's documented or not.
I just know I'm going to regret getting sucked into this, but in an
attempt to mollify (or perhaps equally upset) both sides, I'll say
that...
1. The fact that "open for access" fails when trying to open an
existing file is considered a bug. At least, I consider it one.
2. Since it fails for an input that isn't documented to work, and since
if you give it the documented type it does work, it's a rather
low-priority bug.
