Subject: Files ugly clone

I want to clone a filedescriptor, but no matter
what I try I becomes ugly. The nice solution doesn't
seems to work.

f1 = File.open(__FILE__, 'r')
f1.seek(5)
p f1.pos  # -> 5
f2 = f1.clone.reopen(f1)    # this is nasty.. but works
f2.seek(10)
p f2.pos  # -> 10
# check harmless
p f1.pos  # -> 5 

how can I make a nice clone?
