[issue1702] Word "alias" used in confusing way to compare open() and file()

[Martin v. Löwis]

Martin v. Löwis added the comment:

Notice that file *was* open up to Python 2.4; this was changed with
#1479181 - so "open" is newer than file, in a sense. Assigning to Neal,
who committed the original change.
