You should never use Stdio.File() with one argument anyway, unless you want the special file descriptors "stdin", "stdout" or "stderr".

claims that the default open mode is "rw", yet hilfe says different:

From the source (Pike 7.6), the default mode is "r", which sounds less error prone to me :)

Just to be sure:

...

Stdio.File("/tmp/foo", "r")->mode();

Stdio.read_file reads data while Stdio.File represents data. They are not directly interchangeable.
