std.stream.BufferedFile.create uses FileMode.Out by default.  This means that
if you have a big file pre-existing, call create("file") and then write just a
little bit to it, then you will still have a big file with just the initial few
bytes overwritten.  This is almost certainly not what one wants or expect to
happen when they call a method named "BufferedFile.create()".
