Comment(by ramey):

 when I looked into using mktemp I couldn't figure out how to use it to
 open temporary C++ stream as on fstream(?).

 mkstemp returns a file handle, and I couldn't figure out how to initialize
 a stream with the handle to an already open file.  I saw no portable way
 to avoid using tmpname.
