    Add the following note to the docs for File.open(): · e4c24270

    Note: When shareable is false, uses nopen() which will lock the file
exclusively and perform automatic retries.  When shareable is true uses
fopen(), and will only attempt to open the file once and will perform
no locking.  The behaviour when one script has a file opened with shareable
set to a different value than is used with a new call is OS specific.
On Windows, the second open will always fail and on *nix, the second open
will always succeed.
