          checking whether the file already exists and that the user has

          of a successful open is usually some kind of capability
          (e.g. a Unix file descriptor) - a token that the user
          passes back to the system in order to access the file without
          further checks and finally to close the file.

          necessary to eliminate oral ambiguity.  To read aloud the LISP
          form (DEFUN FOO (X) (PLUS X 1)) one might say: "Open defun
          foo, open eks close, open, plus eks one, close close."
