[issue14243] tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile not particularly useful on Windows

Why do we need to use this O_TEMPORARY flag at all?

I understand that we are using OS functionality, available on Windows, rather than implementing it in Python. But why doing this, if we already do this for none-nt systems in Python any way?

Doesn't it just complicate the code?
