{- Replaces a possibly already existing file with a new version, 
 - atomically, by running an action.
 - 
 - The action is passed the name of temp file, in a temp directory, 
 - which it can write to, and once done the temp file is moved into place
 - and anything else in the temp directory is deleted.
 -
 - The action can throw an exception, in which case the temp directory
 - will be deleted, and the existing file will be preserved.
 -
 - Throws an IO exception when it was unable to replace the file.
