There's already ISO standard tmpfile() for creating temporary files, or 
vlc_memfd() if you absolutely need a POSIX file descriptor, or vlc_mkstemp() if 
you really need a file name (which is bad, as it risks leaking storage space).

I don't think we should be creating a lower-level / harder-to-use helper here.
