Good point. Given that this is much more likely to be deliberate,
it's also more likely to occur as a mistake for those of us who
would "never" write f.close accidentally.
I also leave off the odd colon, though I believe that's the only
such error I've made more than maybe once with Python. Never left
quotes off anything that was supposed to have them, unless it was
strictly a slip of the finger (instead of the mind).
