Um, depending on what you mean, and whether we continue to support
the '=' pseudofile, maybe:

    $fh = io("-");

or

    $fh = open "-";

or

    $fh = $name eq '-' ?? $*IN :: open $name;

: How do I open stdout (and the other standard handles)?

Maybe something like:

    $fh = open "file", :w:c:usefd(1);

or

    $*OUT.reopen("file",:w:c);

or

    reopen $*OUT: "file", :w:c;

give or take a few options.
