My concern with that approach is that functions using FILE_GetUnixHandle wouldn't handle the shutdown flags correctly. The alternative would be to retire FILE_GetUnixHandle, or maybe move the shutdown flags handling into wine_server_handle_to_fd.
The shutdown flags are only needed for new calls to Read or Write routines _from the app_. The app is not allowed to e.g. write any more data, while we can still write data that had been queued before.
Thus (at least these) flags are IMO only needed in those places where we already call FILE_GetUnixHandleType.
