description:
Note that open(O_ASYNC) does not work as advertised.
This matches Linux, which also advertises the same semantics and
fails to implement it, according to:
https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/fcntl.2.html
(At what point should we collectively stop advertising the semantics
that doesn't work and call the bug a feature?)
