Hey folks,

We've never /really/ liked the name "open" for the helper method that 
creates Haml-y HTML tags. "tag" would have been better, but that 
conflicted with the ActionView helper. Although "open" conflicts with 
Kernel#open, we didn't anticipate that being a big problem in views.

So far, it hasn't, really - we've only had one complaint. But we'd like 
to avoid the possibility entirely, especially now that Merb is merging 
the view and controller contexts - it's much more likely that people 
will use open-uri in controllers than it ever was in views.

Thus, we've renamed #open - it's now #haml_tag (as suggested by Yehuda 
Katz). #open will still work, but it'll emit a nasty deprecation 
warning. By the time we reach Haml 2.0, it'll be removed altogether.

- Nathan
