I am sure you also run your Bash console in POSIX mode, never use ls with long options, and only use cp with the four-and-a-half POSIX options. Congratulations. The rest of the world is not so spartan.

I hope I don't have to use your software that fsync()s after every file operation. Mistaking durability with atomicity can have dire consequences both for durability and for atomicity.

Besides, you are not a lurker and this is not email.
