(It seems to me that line disciplines, or at least the idea of Perl's

This all seems like a lot of work for (what I would consider to be) the
common, default case - wanting to open a file native to my OS, on a
filesystem seen by my OS. Or am I clue-lossy again?

One of the big draws (to me) for URI support isn't even mentioned in
the RFC, although it was discussed following v1, and that is adding
DWIMmery to the open to support more than files and pipes. (We
recently added URI support to one of our projects for this reason.)
