{- 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.
