I do I think in the context we are looking at things finding a way not
to need to bump files_struct->count looks like it will simplify a lot of
things and there are not many cases we need to consider.

I have been thorough and mentioned the binder case and other case but
that isn't because I disagree I simply don't want us to overlook weird
or tricky cases.

It appears that the more often that we look at these bits the better
a solution we wind up writing.

No objection from me.
