If we go with two functions, I'd much rather hang them off of the file type object then add two new builtins. I really do think file.bytes() and file.text() (a.k.a. open.bytes() and open.text()) is better than opentext() or openbytes().
+1.
The default behavior of the current open() in opening files as text is particularly grating. This would make things much clearer.
