See Fatal, which does exactly that, override open (or whatever else you want) to die if it fails. The scheme falls down for system, as system returns a false value on success ...

    Fatal will be a built-in pragma in Perl 6, and any code which uses the fail keyword will fail in the way specified by the caller, which might be to throw a fatal exception, or to return an unthrown exception that is behaves like undef, or to cause some form of backtracking, in the case of the pattern matching engine.

    I'll talk about system elsewhere.
