Ah, pretty please. If you do nothing else in 1.4 could you let us dup()
filehandles, and track them so I can pass a FH to a process and not have
to worry about getting it back to close it?

I can deal with untracked memory, but there's ever so much UNIXy code out
there that expects UNIX file descriptor semantics...
