Fair enough. So do you believe we should remove the usage of POSIX file-access flags to represent `FILE_ATTRIBUTE_READONLY` entirely? I don't see how we can open an fd of a non-user-writable file that allows filesystem extended attribute write access, unless we temporarily mark the file as writable.
