Make a unique filesystem path, without creating the file

That has potential. A little counter-intuitive, for use in documentation
about testing filesystem paths; but not frightening or dubious to the
conscientious reader.

I'll see whether that meets this use case, thank you.

The bug report (to make a supported ‘tempfile’ API for generating
filesystem paths only) remains, and fixing that would be the correct way
to address this IMO.
