lass accordingly - i.e. if you open a disk file you get something
IO::File-ish, if you open a directory you get something IO::Dir-ish,
a named pipe you get something where seek() either dies or does sfio-like
fake seek of shadow buffer and a "tty" could have extra methods
to give access to st

Allowing URI/URL syntax can perhaps dodge the "portability" issue
URLs use / so if user thinks URL they think /.

The URI syntax is also well established.

change STDOUT.
It will be impossible to translate many perl5 programs to perl6 if
that difference is not retained somehow.

probably mention here that the single-arg form of select() is the
>one you're suggesting for deprecation, and not the four-arg form.
The 4 arg form will be deprecated somewhere else. Splitting the function
is a good idea...

shift;
print Dumper($arg);
print STDOUT "Dumped ",ref($arg),"\n";
}
select(STDERR);
show_things({a => 1});
open(my $foo,">dump");
select($foo);
show_things({b => 2});
close($foo);
select(STDOUT);
show_things({c => 3});
__END__
This technique is extremely handy!
Now if only one could divert warn/die messages to STDERR by a similar trick

s is almost certainly NOT a global 'use' option but a "mode" of
a particular handle.
We want $/ to go away and become a property of the handle.
Perhaps $/ or the 'use' can set the _default_ which is passed to the "open"
when nothing more specific is given.

"win32" layer that does IO straight to Handle level rather than via
MS's idea of how UNIX read/write work.
