Feature #4742: Allow for File.open('yo', :mode => File::WRONLY|File::TRUNC|File::CREAT)

• Status: Closed

Currently we have these options for File.open:

File.open('yo', 'w')
File.open('yo', File::WRONLY|File::TRUNC|File::CREAT)
File.open('yo', :mode => 'w')

but not
File.open('yo', :mode => File::WRONLY|File::TRUNC|File::CREAT)

Which seemed a bit surprising to me, so making a feature request for it.
Cheers!
