Although you're required to use the format name when reading into a data
structure.

I don't think so.  Personally I detest using the file name on I/O
statements.  If I change to different logical file, all I want to have
to change is the F-spec.

I only reference the file BIFs immediately after the operation so I
don't put in the file name.  If I'm going to want the value later on, I
eval it into a named indicator.
