+Creates an C<IO::File> opened for read/write on a newly created temporary
+file.  On systems where this is possible, the temporary file is anonymous
+(i.e. it is unlinked after creation, but held open).  If the temporary
+file cannot be created or opened, the C<IO::File> object is destroyed.
+Otherwise, it is returned to the caller.
