Not to be a pest, but the "open" opcode becoming a dynop is what broke
PL/Parrot recently. There is nothing wrong with open being a dynop per
se, but a long standing bug with dynops that rarely got tickled is now
much more important. If that bug was fixed, "open" being a dynop would
be all gravy.

I think it would be nice if basic I/O opcodes became "plain ops"
again, until the bug with dynops in PBC's is fixed. I think other HLL
authors will run into the same problem that PL/Parrot is having, and
currently it looks like fixing dynops in PBC's is non-trivial and may
require some deprecations.

I am currently attempting to write some tests for the dynop bug after
talking with chromatic++ about what the simplest test case would look
like.
