He meant at the QIODevice API level. The API doesn't include a Create flag because,
well, most of the time when we use WriteOnly we are fine with creating the file :)

Obviously FileProtocol::open does the same, it creates when called with QIODevice::WriteOnly.
I don't see a big problem there. (and neither QIODevice nor the meaning of existing methods in SlaveBase can change now anyway).
