I believe that this was discussed here some years ago, and that this
was suggested by TomC. Anyway, I pushed a patch on rgs/nomagicopen.
The patch is incomplete as it lacks docs and tests. I welcome feedback
on the intent of the feature.

Introduce the double-diamond operator <<>>
This operator works like <> or <ARGV>, as it reads the list of file
names to open from the command-line arguments. However, it disables
the magic-open feature (that forks to execute piped commands) :
$ bleadperl -e 'while(<>){print}' 'echo foo |'
foo
$ bleadperl -e 'while(<<>>){print}' 'echo foo |'
Can't open echo foo |: No such file or directory at -e line 1.
