I think the complaint is not so much about simplicity, but correctness. close_fd also closes stdin/stdout/stderr, which might be undesirable and differs from POSIX. In any case, providing a uniform set-close-on-exec looks fine to me, provided it is implementable on all interesting platforms. I'm -0 on adding "n" to open, and -1 for adding if it means to reimplement fopen.
