But how would you know whether <HANDLE> operates on a filehandle named
HANDLE, or a dirhandle named HANDLE? Perl allows them to coexist:
    use strict;
    use warnings;
    open HANDLE, "/etc/passwd" or die;
    opendir HANDLE, "/etc" or die;
    while (<HANDLE>) {print}        # Prints the content of /etc/passwd
    say while $_ = readdir HANDLE;  # Prints the files in /etc
If <HANDLE> operated on dirhandles as well, it wouldn't be clear what
the penultimate line would do.
