Thanx, I understand it from your bugzilla answer, but I have a doubt.
What if some 3rd party port will use static FILE f; and then &f? Some of
ports may deal with FILE internals and I don't know which ones. I prefer
rather to not break something there and currently I need only one flag
and __SALC is not conflicting since used only with _file = -1 and
__SSTR. If you or somebody else will need another flag and be brave
enough to add _flags2, this patch can be easily converted.
