[issue14243] tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile not particularly useful on Windows

Eryk, I'm not sure if you are agreeing or disagreeing with me. :)

On Windows it sounds like O_TEMPORARY buys us guaranteed file deletion, but costs us easy sharing of file resources and a difference in semantics between Windows and non-Windows.

Is the automatic deletion truly that valuable?
