// Some systems set an artificially low soft limit on open file count, for compatibility
// with code that uses select and its hard-coded maximum file descriptor
// (limited by the size of fd_set).
//
// Go does not use select, so it should not be subject to these limits.
// On some systems the limit is 256, which is very easy to run into,
// even in simple programs like gofmt when they parallelize walking
// a file tree.
//
// After a long discussion on go.dev/issue/46279, we decided the
// best approach was for Go to raise the limit unconditionally for itself,
// and then leave old software to set the limit back as needed.
// Code that really wants Go to leave the limit alone can set the hard limit,
// which Go of course has no choice but to respect.
