The FMMAP_NOFILE option creates an anonymous mapping: it's just a virtual memory allocation without a specific backing file (the system swap is used if needed).
It's not different from what the intrinsic ALLOCATE() does, so the question is "should it be kept?", as it's redundant.
I basically introduced it for flexibility: the same code could perform a named or anonymous mapping depending on the needs, by just switching this option.
