If you think that it may be useful to bypass some other functions, and you want to use the same option to control that then a general name like that makes sense. Personally, I don't believe that we may want to bypass something like open() as it is not performance critical, but I said above I don't care about the name much, so I am going to change my patch to use ignoreCygwinFSTricks.
