Subject: Platform independent null device access

What do people think about adding a method to class IO that returns an IO
object for the platform dependend null device (NUL on win, /dev/null or
/dev/zero on unix)?  Alternatively there could be a constant with the
platform dependent name of this device, if it can always be opened like a
file on all supported platforms.
