Comment:
Hi,
As far as I can tell, `File.__bool__` is not documented but it does seem
to be used internally and is somewhat tested (though maybe not directly):
changing it to `return False` yields quite a few errors and failures in
the test suite.
Because of this lack of documentation, it's hard to tell if the behavior
you're describing is a bug.
I think it'd be worth it to:
1) Document `File.__bool__` (both in the reference docs and in the
docstring)
2) Figure out if we can improve it by handling underlying files with no
names as you suggest.
What do you think?
