+ * _O_NOINHERIT - Do not mark the created handle as inheritable by child processes.
+ *    The Windows default is 'not inheritable', but the CRT's default (following
+ *    POSIX convention) is 'inheritable'. We have no desire for our handles to be
+ *    inheritable on Windows, so specify the flag to get default behavior back. */
