I agree.

I referred specifications of Ruby's File, IO and Dir classes.
File.open, IO.open, and Dir.open can accept a block but
File.new, IO.new, and Dir.new don't.
Because Ruby's experts have determined such specifications,
I suppose that there may be something merits not to accept blocks
or there may be something problems to accept a block,
but I don't know much about them.

[ruby-list:24986] said that in Ruby 1.6.0, IO.new and Dir.new
was changed not to take block, but I can't find the reason.
