Are we sure fileno(stdin) will necessarily return 0, what with all the
redirections and stuff?

Yes. The redirections in Emacs don't change the file descriptor numbers associated with stdin, stdout, and stderr. They will always be 0, 1, and 2.

Why not keep the original code?

It's a bit slower, and (more important) it leads the reader to wonder whether fileno (stdin) might not equal STDIN_FILENO.
