I think I'd argue that most file-access features should indeed be considered "non-core". This doesn't mean that we shouldn't think to implement them -- or that they wouldn't be part of almost every Perl-6 distro -- just that they are modules. Obviously the ability to use/require a module is needed: so file access to load modules is a core feature. But a function like "open" -- or classes such as "FileHandle", or "IO::*" -- should most definitely be considered as non-core, and implemented in modules. (Whether these modules should be automatigically available without a "use feature 'files';" statement is a different debate). Dave.
