Yes, and perhaps you want to return (String, Handle) so that you know
the file name (in case you want to do something else than just
reading/writing from it).

Oh, and on an almost but not completely unrelated note, why not use the
hierarchical namespace for all the other haskell-libs projects as well?
I just put some code into haskell-i18n
(http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/haskell-i18n/Source/Text/I18N/) maybe we should use the same repository?
