No, it doesn't; the ‘opener’ parameter doesn't have any say in the type
of object returned from ‘open’.

It seems the existing ‘open’ implementation doesn't allow you to
override the type of object returned. You may have to resort to
monkey-patching the ‘io’ attributes to put your preferred classes there.
