### New types

- Re-opening an output file for appending new observations preserves its SINGLE or MULTIPLE type.
- Re-opening a MULTIPLE file for input+output is allowed, since several versions of the same observation is allowed.
- Re-opening a SINGLE file for input+output is not allowed: writing out a new version of an input spectrum is explicitely forbidden by the SINGLE type.
