I have already followed the twisty little passages: os.tmpfile() is
really nt.tempfile(), but there is no Modules/ntmodule.c (Modules/
posixmodule.c does a Jekyll & Hyde trick). (nt|posix)module calls
tmpfile(), which is (as I mentioned) in the C stdio library. How can I
analyse the source of that? Have Microsoft had a rush of blood to the
head and gone open source overnight??
