Comment:

 A problem with using `O_NONBLOCK` is that you might pass this `Handle` to
 another process, for example when constructing a pipeline of processes
 using `createProcess`.  Strictly speaking in that case we should set the
 FD to be blocking again, but right now we don't have support for changing
 the blocking mode on an existing Handle.  I suppose I'll have to do that
 first.
