This is why every good programmer keeps a thesaurus handy. I just now
had a "concept collision" on the word 'cancel', and did a quick search
to come up with 'annul' as an alternative. Although in this case I
didn't search my thesaurus, I actually looked for Magic: The Gathering
cards... yeah, I'm a nerd, aren't you? :)
There's lots of synonyms for open, and it's entirely possible that one
will work. Otherwise, Steven's other solution works just fine too, and
you can go humorous with that too:
sesame = open
open = "something"
file = sesame("filename", "r")
