    <remarks>
      <para>Operating systems maintain a cache of all open files to speed up
    performance for common tasks.  The default caching behavior may not be
    appropriate for some tasks.  The <c>FileAccessPattern</c> enumeration
    contains possible alternate caching behaviors that your operating system
    may support.</para>
