A better way to handle it would be to make the current statement in XSH exec apply to other forms of execution by changing the paragraph about closing a file descriptor to: <blockquote>If <i>word</i> evaluates to '-', then file descriptor <i>n</i> (or standard input or standard output, respectively, if <i>n</i> is not specified) shall be closed. Attempts to close a file descriptor that is not open shall not constitute an error. If a standard utility or a conforming application is executed with file descriptor 0 not open for reading or with file descriptor 1 or 2 not open for writing, the environment in which the utility or application is executed shall be deemed non-conforming, and consequently the utility or application might not behave as described in this standard.</blockquote> (last sentence copied from XSH exec).
