Which functions is it used by? It's used all over the place. I started trying to rip it out ages ago but it call got far too intrusive and I just backed away. ISTR that more recent tests have used NamedTemporaryFile or something similar, which makes much more sense.

It's used *all over the place*. I started trying to rip it out
ages ago but it call got far too intrusive and I just backed

or something similar, which makes much more sense.
