The standard defines the effects of several mode specifiers, all of which
are in lower case. ("b+" is not among them, though "rb+" etc. are.)
The standard does not define the effects of mode specifiers in upper case.
Implementations are allowed to provide extensions, but portable programs
do not depend on them, and strictly conforming programs cannot.
