Feature #14245
Updated by shugo (Shugo Maeda) almost 7 years ago
Some people use File.open without knowing that it's defined in IO and pipes can be opened.
```
p File.read("|echo hello") #-> "hello"
```
How about to add File.read, File.binread, File.foreach etc. (similar version to File.open)?
Code like File.read(filename) is considered to have no intention to open pipes.
Implementation by prelude.rb is suggested by normalperson in #14239: #14329:

> prelude.rb instead of writing in C? :)
