When every application that calls the same thing the same way with little or no variation ends up padded out with same 20 lines of code at the beginning (DirectX and GTK anyone?) you didn't write your API very well...

Absolutely! When I see APIs like that, I think "geez, just let me get to the point!" If POSIX had been designed that way, you'd have needed some 20-line magic sequence before you could use open().

If you want to see an example of the POSIX API designed that way, check out the Win32 API ;)
