Nick's comment made me think why NamedTemporaryFile can't simply
subclass file and get properly working context manager's methods for
free.
It turned out that although file is subclassable, in its present form,
it does not allow NamedTemporaryFile implementation for the following
reasons:
1. os.fdopen cannot create a subclass of file.
2. file.__exit__ does not call subclass' close method.
The attached patch fixes both issues and reimplements NamedTemporaryFile.
I understand that adding new functionality to file objects should be
brought up on python-dev, but I would like to hear comments from the
"nosy list" first.
The patch is proof-of-concept quality at the moment and may not work
non-posix platforms.
