Only in some cases.  You can't open(".") if you're in a directory you
have x access but not r access to.  (This is something I've thought of
as a botch for quite a while - I think you should be able to open it
but not read from it.  Perhaps we need an O_NOIO, parallel to O_RDONLY,
O_WRONLY, O_RDWR?)
