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.
My initial take was -1, but now that I see that the existing tutorial introduces modules before it discusses files, I'm only -0.
