As written before, this is invalid. The correct way opening a file (at
least this week) for reading is

open I3, "temp.file", "<"

some months ago I changed the io from stdio to PIO and this changed
from "r" to "<".

Maybe it was an oversight of me when porting from stdio to PIO...

I'm working on this. But at the moment I try to get ParrotIO away from
sys_mem_allocate/sys_mem_free to the garbage-collector, but there are
still bugs left.

I promise more documentation, but dont hold the breath
