@Trott could you also add it to readFileSync? Thanks!

Sure! Looking at the code in fs.js, it looks like I should also add a note for writeFile(), appendFile(), and their synchronous counterparts as well.

Looking at the other *Sync() function docs, I'm wondering if it's superfluous to add it there. It seems like the convention is to note that it is a synchronous version of the async function, and only note any differences.

readFileSync() doc is a little odd that way, but you can make the case that it's worth repeating the stuff about returning buffer vs. string because now we're talking about a function's return value and not a value passed to a callback.

I've pushed a new commit that updates the writeFile() and appendFile(). Holding off on readFileSync()/ writeFileSync()/appendFileSync() for feedback on whether it's needed.
