Hope that f is still useable as a real filehandle.

I use a watchdog script writtel in Lua which don't open a file by
themself. Instead the watchdog controls the open files and filepointers
of other programs.

Still possible?

Lua is easy to understand and very flexible. I hope that the new globals
statement and the object behaviour in base libs like io aren't the wrong
direction.
