New submission from Diego Palacios :
The pickle functions dump and load are often used in the following lines:
```python
import pickle
fname = '/path/to/file.pickle'
with open(fname, 'rb') as f:
object = pickle.load(f)
```
The load function should also accept a file name (string) as input and
automatically open and load the object. The same should happen for the dump
function. This would allow a simple use of the functions:
```python
object = pickle.load(fname)
```
This is what many users need when reading and storing and object from/to a file.
