One difficulty I had with `do` is that its really hard to find in the docs 
if you don't have any idea what it is.  Try googling it or searching for it 
in the docs, do is just really a common word so there is a lot of 
interference. Then it sort of looks like an if or while statement, so I 
tried looking in Control Flow, but its not there.

Also I think open is a particularly confusing (but also useful) example of 
the do block syntax, since the specific method of open that is called is 
fairly different from most of the other open methods.  Most methods return 
a file handle, and leave the file open, while this particular method opens 
and closes the file. So it's sort of a double whammy of potential confusion.
