Why not allow the inverse of the usage

	@array = <FILE>;

which fills @array with all the lines from the open stream <FILE>,
and allow

	<FILE> = @array;

which would write all the elements of @array to the open stream <FILE>.
You can do this now with print and foreach or join, but the symmetry
would still be nice.
