Which brings us back to the initial problem of having to
write conditionally compiled code for something that
FreePascal already implements internally in a cross-platform
manner.

Since we already have cross-platform functions FileRead and
FileWrite, would not it be useful to have them set the
InOutRes variable, or to publish a facility for converting
the value of GetLastOSError into an InOutRes value?
