This issue was discussed in the Jan 8, 2026 teleconference and the consensus was
that this is a valid way to resolve the noted potential race condition; however
we are unclear that there is enough existing practice to validate adding this
change to the standard at the  current time. The attendees also recommended that
a better name than "CLOBOTH" be used, as it implies only two conditions when
there may be more in the future. Perhaps "CLOCOMPLETE" would work. Another
approach might be to add "F_DUPFD_SETFLAGS" which takes as a fourth argument a
bitmask of FD_xxx flags to set.
