That's certainly an advantage.  I always try to avoid these problems
by naming my F-spec entries with a prefix in service programs, and
opening and closing them within each module independently.  But this
doesn't solve the problem, it just makes more work really.

I wonder what would happen if a file was overridden.  Would the
recio.h functions obey the override?
