fd support is intentional, see Modules/_io/_iomodule.c:318

OTOH closing sys.stdin doesn't exit Python, so I'm not sure why closing fd 0 
should.

I was also thinking about possible security implications of this, but if 
someone tries to pass '0' as filename, it will most likely be passed to open as 
a string.
