Oh hey! That's a library I wrote (and use). I haven't upgraded to 8.1.1
yet, so I hadn't caught this issue. Happy to fix it based on the
responses to this thread.

I tried going back to the history of the code (it goes back a bit more
than the open-source version), but couldn't find a specific reason as
to why I used that internal slot-name, I probably did it to avoid
having to write FLI to open and close the files. 

Thanks,
Arnold
