There's `std.file.tempDir`, which doesn't create a unique file.
Then there's `std.stdio.tmpfile()`, which does, but it returns
a `File` object, and its `name` property is `null`.
Did I miss something? IMO this is very import functionality.
One use case is passing these names as command line arguments
to an external program that doesn't support stdin/stdout.
I agree that it would be useful.
This is what I used, although there may be a better option:
