Actually there is a way to test if a variable is an open file-handle or not ( at least in uv):

I have the following code in som subroutines that you can feed with a
open file handle or a file name in FN:

  IF FILEINFO( FN,0) THEN   ;* He gave us an open file-handle.
     FP.FN = FN
     FNAM = FILEINFO(FN,1)
  END ELSE
     OPEN FN TO FP.FN ELSE
        ERR.M = Me:": Can't open ":FN
        RETURN
        END
     FNAM = FN
     END


Every other test I've tried results in error messages.

This may be  universe only - don't know.
