The unformatted sequential format part looks Ok, but the special files
section is lacking. E.g. what about

- The REWIND statement?
- The ENDFILE statement?
- ACCESS='stream' and the POS= specifier?
- ACCESS='direct'? (I suspect this should work for
pipes/FIFO's/terminals in case REC= numbers are sequential, but is
that a guarantee we want to make?)
- Special files which are special in other ways. E.g. block special
files tend to allow seeking, but IO must be block aligned.
