Would other IO builtins also move, like (formerly raw_) input and print? What about the file type?
it seems to me that if the rationale is to make use of IO identifiable, then all IO functions would have to move into the io module. What am I missing?

Do people think it would be too radical if the built-in open() function was removed altogether, requiring all code that opens files to import the io module first? This would make it easier to identify modules that engage in I/O.
