there are suprisingly few uses of this.  even nsec opens /dev/bintime
directly.  none seem particularly compelling.

minooka; grep -n open `{find lib*|grep '\.[ch]$'}|grep '"#[|decp]'
libc/9sys/getpid.c:11:  f = open("#c/pid", 0);
libc/9sys/syslog.c:83:                  sl.consfd = open("#c/cons", 
OWRITE|OCEXEC);
libc/9sys/sysname.c:13:         f = open("#c/sysname", 0);
