I thought about that initially, but it rubs me the wrong way: it violates least-surprise for me. File descriptors are expected to be default-blocking. It *is* a special fd, though, so maybe it could work. The only case I can think of it would break would be ioctl-loop case that is already buggy in that it didn't handle non-zero returns?
