I give up.  I have already reverted and deleted the two methods.

I wrote the patch because I thought closing the ticket encourages 1.9.2
release.
But it seems to take some time to make the feature stable, and I became
afraid that it may delay the release.  It is never the effect I expected.

I think refactoring io.c is needed to implement the feature.
open argument is easy to use, but difficult for me to implement :-(
