Which means that in normal cases, you'll either succeed to open it, or get ENOENT. We're talking about unexcepted cases (you don't have permission to read it because it's not your file, because you messed up with a chmod, or whatever reason).

I don't expect a tool to consider that an unreadable file is equivalent to no file at all. If something's wrong, as a user, I expect a helpful message telling me what's wrong, to give me a clue on how to solve it.
