Indeed, this appears to be a more "official" way to pass handles for fd ≥ 3,
instead of lpReserved2 — albeit without associated 'flags'. Not sure how
O_APPEND is handled then... (Note: O_APPEND behaviour is tested by
gnulib/tests/test-posix_spawn-open2.c.)

I had seen this doc page, but thought it was irrelevant because the
title is about "thread attributes", not "process attributes"...
