For those of you following along, the tmpfile(), tempnam(), tmpnam()
functions were ones I listed as probably not worth adding. On the
other hand, David Beazley wrote:

... and that's a good point, too. The POSIX functions may provide
adaptability that a Python analog doesn't; for example, you could read
/etc/passwd in pure Python, but that wouldn't handle NIS or shadow
passwords. So I guess I'll vote for completeness over lack of
overlap; leave tmpfile() & friends in.

This supports reflection, which is the 90s way of writing self-modifying code.
