It appears that a file is created by the name "re", and created. The
interpretation of the filename parameter to the File constructor is left
unspecificed, so you can't call the behavior wrong. So long as re-using
that File instance to recreate the same file again fails (which it does)
and opening a stream of that file reads back no data (which it does),
the spec is being fulfilled.
