Purely for kicks I tried editing a file with vim that was "write
only". i.e. with mask as -w-

vim warns me that this is a "read only" file and cannot be edited.

Just curious if this is a side effect or has other implications. Why
does vim treat "write only" files as "read only"?

Incidentally I don't have any use for a "write only" file.  It is just
my curiosity that is trying to figure out if there was a use.
