{- It's not safe to use a FilePath of an existing file as the template
 - for openTempFile, because if the FilePath is really long, the tmpfile
 - will be longer, and may exceed the maximum filename length.
 -
 - This generates a template that is never too long.
 - (Well, it allocates 20 characters for use in making a unique temp file,
 - anyway, which is enough for the current implementation and any
 - likely implementation.)
