Well, as Tom pointed out to me this already exists in 5.6 as part of
FileHandle:
http://www.mail-archive.com/perl6-language@perl.org/msg00442.html
So, I don't think including it in the standard file methods would hurt
things any more than people not using -T in the first place. Generally
if you use -T you're pretty conscious of wanting things to be safe, I
think.
