Append will be supported in the 0.20-append branch, which is still in
progress. It is NOT supported in vanilla 0.20. You can turn on the config
option but it is dangerous and highly discouraged for real use.

Append will be supported fully in 0.21.

Also, append does *not* add random write. It simply adds the ability to
re-open a file and add more data to the end.
