Hmm. If I must use the comma, I think I'd prefer a constant in this
scenario:
my $fh = open ">$filename", open::exclusive;
Is it reasonable to use package:: as a prefix to a block to change the
default namespace:
{ package open; exclusive + rw; }
becomes
open::{exclusive + rw}
which then lets me say:
my $fh = open ">$filename", open::{exclusive + rw};
