+With this change, in our `record` behavior, we match on `file` and only attempt to write if it is of type `File`. Awesome. We have working code. Except, ugh. There is are actually a couple problems still lurking.
 
-One is programmer ergonomics. If you are using `file` a lot in this actor, you are going to be constantly matching to make sure you are handling `None` correctly.

Tracking that down could turn out to be a nightmare.

+> Set `errno` according to result.
+
+To correctly use `File`, we have to check the `errno()` method to see if there was a failure. Oof. We can address this hidden issue by using the `CreateFile` primitive that will return a `(File | FileErrNo)`. If we get a `FileErrNo`, we can leave `_file` as `None`.

 All of the problems that we enumerated above come from attempting to create objects whose creation can fail in the constructor of our actor. Rather than delay errors until we are in our actor's constructor, a much better approach is to supply our dependencies fully initialized.
