It has always saddened me that Python files don't have a rewind()
method. On Unix, calling rewind() is the same as calling seek(0), so
it's utterly pointless except as an amusing anachronistic name: it
always made me smile when called rewind() on a file in a filesystem on
a hard-drive. Interestingly, you can't you can't (and never could)
use rewind() to rewind a tape. You use an ioctl() system call for
that.
