Advantages of the file I/O functionality based on native system API:
* No dependencies on C library bugs.
This includes missing workarounds for OS API bugs in C library.
* No dependencies on C library API.
This allows a reach API with the ability to use a platform-specific functionality.
* Performance.
As a result of limited C library API and possible bugs is't possible to have a performance gaps because of C library use (e.g. see Issue 7033).
