Yeah, when FILENAME is a regular file. What about saying that on
POSIX systems, you get the behavior of
open (FILENAME, O_WRONLY | O_CREAT | O_TRUNC, 0666)
which is what the code eventually does. Or we could stay in Scheme
and say it is equivalent to
(open-file FILENAME "w")
and make sure that open-file is documented properly.
