I don't know how /dev/tty behaves in detail under stdio. I think
removing this part of the comment might leave the impression that
attempting to use "w+" will never work, whereas the existing comment
appears to indicate that it was only very old platforms that had the
issue. If we don't have an immediate answer to that, I'd leave the
comment as is.
