For this to really work properly the whole OS needs to be designed around it. Such OSes exist -- they're called "capability-based" -- but like so many other good ideas this one hasn't generated much interest in industry. I think we're stuck with explicit file handle management for the next couple of decades.

hOp/House doesn't have a filesystem yet. See http://www.cse.ogi.edu/~hallgren/House/ (source recently released) Maybe we won't always require explicit file handles. -- Shae Matijs Erisson - Programmer - http://www.ScannedInAvian.org/ "I will, as we say in rock 'n' roll, run until the wheels come off, because I love what I do." -- David Crosby
