[issue23755] tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile should be able to toggle "delete"

[Martin Panter]

Martin Panter added the comment:

I think I have often passed delete=False because of the documented deficiency with Windows (see Issue 14243). Depending on the outcome of that issue, allowing for deletion after close() might be useful too.

BTW, monkey-patching __del__() probably won’t work if you only set an attribute on the “f” instance, instead of modifying the class itself. See <file:///home/proj/python/cpython/Doc/build/html/reference/datamodel.html#special-method-lookup>.
