 Yes, but it would need to cache the _same_ object every time it's called
 given that arg for a given thread.  Then it might not detect when that
 thread might actually want a different FD/object, and the cache can fill
 up or expire and we still end up with unpredictable behavior.

----------------------------------------
Feature #10181: New method File.openat()
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/10181#change-48545

* Author: Technorama Ltd.
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee: 
* Category: 
* Target version: 
----------------------------------------
The purpose of the openat() function is to enable opening files in directories other than the current working directory without exposure to race conditions. Any part of the path of a file could be changed in parallel to a call to open(), resulting in unspecified behavior. By opening a file descriptor for the target directory and using the openat() function it can be guaranteed that the opened file is located relative to the desired directory.

openat() is part of POSIX.1-2008.

Compatibility:
  Linux kernel >= 2.6.16
  FreeBSD >= 7.0
  OpenBSD >= 5.0
  NetBSD >= 6.1.4
  MacOS/X no
