The existence of this operation has been controversial, and it's
arguable that it should be excluded by policy not to support UB (it's
UB to close fds you don't own that might be used internally by the
implementation) though I'm not sure it really helps since folks who
want to use it will just make the syscall directly. We should probably
at least consider it for inclusion.

This should probably be _BSD_SOURCE if it's exposed under _BSD_SOURCE.

Can you elaborate on what the cast to unsigned is for?
