Hi Reg,
It looks to me like the lazy opening functionality is unused in Pharo 7,
and is not reachable when using the documented "new" API. (Somewhat
oddly, one of the more complete documentations of what's recommended
seems to be the class comment of the deprecated class FileStream.)
Lazy opening is rather odd conceptually, and doesn't seem to meet the
principle of least surprise, so I'd think deprecating it would be
reasonable.
Regards,

Guille,
In FileHandle there is a concept of a lazy file opening in

where the method FileHandle>>#assureOpen is called.
Based on out previous conversations I believe that this concept is to be
deprecated.
Can you please confirm.
