Good luck with that. We can't even give the creat() system call an 'e' at the end. (Not that it should be used much these days; the 'creat() then open()' idiom

(Not that it should be used much these days; the 'creat() then open()' idiom is a race condition waiting to happen, so 'open()' has grown the ability to create-and-open in one atomic operation. That seems to handle most of the file creation that Unix programs need to do.)
