Severity: wishlist
The function tempfile() does not behave like tempdir() when this
is what the user expects.
In detail, according to the documentation TMPDIR => 1 is honoured
by tempdir() and since other optional arguments are the same for
tempfile() and since it seems logical to have tempfile() create
a temporary file in the common temporary directory, people expect
TMPDIR => 1 to work with tempfile() as well.
However, this is not the case. Please see Bug#350954 and Bug#344029
as reference.
It would be nice if tempfile() would honour this optional parameter
as well.

Joey
