Hi,

Sorry for my late response.

I prefer this order of parameters because it feels natural:

  File::open('hello.txt', 'r').read()
  File::read('hello.txt')

  File::open('hello.txt', 'w').write('hello')
  File::write('hello.txt', 'hello')

In addition, the Facets library also perfers this order:

Then, to minimize disruption, let us avoid this latter order of parameters.

Thanks for your consideration.
