## Message

```
std: back out the flags field of Io.File

For now, let us refrain from putting the sync mode into the Io.File
struct, and document that to do concurrent batch operations, any Windows
file handles must be in asynchronous mode. The consequences for
violating this requirement is neither illegal behavior, nor an error,
but that concurrency is lost. In other words, deadlock might occur. This
prevents the addition of flags field.
