Hi Miklos,

IIUC, In current code we seem to use FUSE_CREATE only if file does not exist.
If file exists, then we probably will take FUSE_OPEN path.

Are you concerned about future proofing where somebody decides to use
FUSE_CREATE for create + open on a file which exists. If yes, I agree that
patching FUSE_CREATE makes sense.

Please do.
