With respect to file options, which have effect only when a file is opened for output or for combined input/output, it appears to me that:
---- In several situations, the R6RS apparently insists upon raising an exception even though the no-fail option has been specified. Opening a file with the no-truncate option by itself appears to be equivalent to opening the file with the default options. Opening a file with both the no-create and no-fail options appears to be equivalent to opening the file with the no-create option alone. Opening a file with all three standard options (no-create, no-fail, and no-truncate) appears to be equivalent to opening the file with just the no-create and no-truncate options. ---- For a case analysis in support of the above conclusions, see [1]. Do R6RS experts see anything wrong with my conclusions above?
