wouldn't it be nice if
open(file, $file ) or die "unable to open file $file:$!\n";
open(file2, $file2 ) or die "unable to open file $file2:$!\n";
were just automajick between the two....

hence - if you have not opened a thing, that thing is closed
Oh wouldn't it be nice if File Handles blossomed like petals...
rather than all this persnickettyNeff of having to open and
close them on our own....

this is the classic - HEY BONE HEAD WHY ALLOCATE WHAT YOU
DID NOT PLAN TO USE - YOU EXPECT TO SELL THE UPGRADE THAT
IS SMALLER AND CHEAPER - but was not allow due to threats
of legal action by a large software development firm that
believed it would breach their intellectual property rights...
