pre-PEP: Object-oriented file module

[Kenneth McDonald]

Why would any of the issues below be any more difficult than they are  
with
the current file functions? I'm not proposing a C replacement for  
current
functions, merely a Python module that wraps all of those functions (and
adds some additional ones) in an appropriate class.
