-# This is a class for managing temporary files.
-#
-#  o Tempfile::new("basename") creates a temporary file whose name is
-#    "basename.pid.n" and opens with mode "w+".
-#  o A Tempfile object can be treated as an IO object.
-#  o The temporary directory is determined by ENV['TMPDIR'],
-#    ENV['TMP'], and ENV['TEMP'] in the order named, and if none of
-#    them is available, it is set to /tmp.
-#  o When $SAFE > 0, you should specify a directory via the second argument
-#    of Tempfile::new(), or it will end up finding an ENV value tainted and
-#    pick /tmp.  In case you don't have it, an exception will be raised.
-#  o Tempfile#close! gets the temporary file removed immediately.
-#  o Otherwise, the removal is delayed until the object is finalized.
-#  o With Tempfile#open, you can reopen the temporary file.
-#  o The file mode for the temporary files is 0600.
-#  o This library is (considered to be) thread safe.
