While you're at it, a bit of code-reuse applying that to virtual printers
and virtual paper tape punches would be highly appreciated.

Probably a timeout would be sufficient.  Nothing written in 30 seconds or 
some configurable timeout ?  That means its time to close the file and get 
ready to start a new file.  Configurable is for the best.  Wanna print out
ten files real quick, make the timeout like 3 seconds.  Wanna "session log"
on a permanently operating emulator, make the timeout like 7200 seconds.
