Please note - this statement is Unix specific. The situation on Windows is entirely different (the fact that the CRT on Windows emulates some aspects of the Unix semantics is not relevant here - you need to understand the underlying OS model). If you want to redesign things (and I don't, personally, believe that is a good idea) then make sure you don't base your design solely on Unix semantics.
