You forgot suffix argument :).

It's missing for ages, we just needed it for dub
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dub/pull/497#issuecomment-72763326.

The python implementation takes a reasonable approach, generate random names
and try to exclusively open the file.

https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/1196330dedbe741f8a0c418abcd2956fad29837f/Lib/tempfile.py#L191

The new function could be called namedTempFile. It's still useful to have a
tempFile function that directly unlink the file.
