For the initial checkin, the dirt-simple:
def open(filename, *args, **kwargs):
return file(filename, *args, **kwargs)
At this point, the sole purpose is to kill open() as a simple alias for
file() and turn it into a factory function that can be documented
separately (and have its own help() info). Further extensions can be
done later. Because this is file I/O, there is no reason to even think
of performance improvements in the call.
