 - [ ] tests added / passed

 - [ ] whatsnew entry

As we talked about on gitter, I added the line (https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/blob/master/pandas/io/pytables.py#L266) to the HDFStore.open function. Let me know if I misunderstood or should make further edits, thank you!
pls add testing (look how the test r done elsewhere for pathlib)

and a whatsnew note can you rebase / update closing as stale, but if you'd like to add tests and update, pls ping.
