e.g. using File.open('a', 'w') { } can be done to truncate a file in a safe mode.

Ofc, in this case, there is the File.truncate('a', 0), but it can be considered a more "exotic" command.

File.open('a', 'w') { nil } is accepted and more explicit IMO.

... And it won't work if the file does not exist currently.

But File.open('a', 'w') { } does work
