 Creates a new empty temporary file and returns a pathname referring to
 it.  The temporary file is created with Scheme's default permissions, so
 barring unusual circumstances it can be opened for input and/or output
 without error.  The temporary file will remain in existence until
 explicitly deleted.  If the file still exists when the Scheme process
 terminates, it will be deleted.
