I don't really care if this goes in the signature. Runtime checking is
good enough for this.
sub foo (+$write, +$append) {
fail "..." if $write and $append;
...
}
Although I don't think this particular check is needed at all, as append
isn't quite opening the file read-only. Just ignore that :write was also
given.

I did mean let open figure it out. That is, let &open decide based on
the named arguments it gets how to open something. Let *it* find a way
to specify 'a+' and stuff like that, so we can write it readably.
