Reopening. Age is not a reason to close issues.

A quick look suggests that the first point is still actual: `open` seems to do
exactly the same as destructing and constructing [1].

Regarding the second point, as Steven Schveighoffer explains in issue 4087,
comment 4, a struct declaration in another one does not make for context
pointers. So that point is invalid.

The suggested code change from the third point has apparently been done [1]. So
that is fixed.

So, what would be left to satisfy this enhancement request would be to
deprecate and subsequently remove std.stdio.File.open. We could of course
create a separate issue for that and close this one. I don't know if that buys
us anything, though.
