Comment (by dd32):

 Unfortunately Drupals use-case is slightly different, and doesn't quite
 work for us. They simply convert streams to real local paths, and then use
 the PHP functions on the direct paths (from what I can tell).

 In some quick testing, I've found that simply using `fopen( $file, 'a' )`
 doesn't work, as even though it'll return a resource, attempting to write
 to the file can still fail.

 We can implement looking at the permission bits, but ACLs will get in the
 way, and we'll only ever know a "You might be able to write to this file"
 or "you probably can't write to this file" - neither are solid enough for
 our use-cases.

 I'm just going to disable it for SSH, just like we've got it disabled for
 FTP.
