file -> open in stdlib patch

[Daniel Nogradi]

Hi list,

AFAIK using file( ) to open a file is deprecated in favor of open( )
and while grepping through the stdlib I noticed a couple of occurences
of file( ) in the latest revision. I made a patch for getting rid of
them; it passes all the tests. Although the change is almost trivial,
since this is my first patch maybe it's better if someone
knowledgeable takes a look at it before submitting it to SF.

Daniel
