Summary: smarter temporary file object

Initial Comment:
Jim Fulton suggested the following:

I wonder if it would be a good idea to have a new kind
of temporary file that stored data in memory unless: 
 
  - The data exceeds some size, or 
 
  - Somebody asks for a fileno. 
 
Then the cgi module (and other apps)  could use this
thing in a uniform way.

I have a potential implementation for this, intended to be included in
Lib/tempfile.py.  Because the issue is closed, I can't attach it.  Let's
see if posting to the issue will open that option up.

Thank you.

I've moved this feature request to PEP 42, "Feature Requests".
