Has anybody written a procedure for creating a temporary file

And why has such a procedure not already been added to std.file
when std.file.tempDir has?
See: https://dlang.org/library/std/file/temp_dir.html
tempDir just returns a path (i.e. "/tmp" or whatever it is on
Windows, etc.), it doesn't create anything.
Given the synopsis of std.file, a procedure for *creating* a file
doesn't belong there, as it would only be half of an operation.
There is a https://dlang.org/library/std/stdio/file.tmpfile.html
