Subject: [rcr] make File#dup intuitive

position is not copied.. try this example for yourself

f1 = File.open(__FILE__, 'r')
f1.seek(5)
p f1.pos  # -> 5
f2 = f1.dup
p f2.pos  # -> garbage 

server> ruby a.rb 
5
93
server>

This is really non-intuitive that you have to do
a seek afterwards. Its the same as if you clone a string, 
but have to copy the string-content yourself. 
Where is logic here?
