Does this imply that there is something wrong with the Haskell temp file library? I mean, in Python-land, ever since Python 2.3 was released in 2003, you just import the tempfile module [1] and call "tempfile.mkstemp()" (or, if you want more specialized functionality such as if you want a directory you call a different function from that module). Why can't Haskell programmers do something like this, not worry about security issues, and have their temp files created in the proper place for tempfiles on their system?
