The same reasoning could be applied to Stdio.File itself, and
therefore also the same arguments against it. I can imagine some of
those arguments are that it would add bloat, it would reduce typing,
and it would blur concepts that preferably can remain separated. Why
not make a FakeFILE which extends FakeFile the same way Stdio.FILE
extends Stdio.File?
