I  missed  something.   What  is the argument for having MLton.TextIO.mkstemp
return only the string?  This would be very confusing since the file has been
made.   Also  I  don't  understand the suffix.  I think that the way to go is
either
    string -> string * TextIO.outstream
or
    string -> string * TextIO.instream * TextIO.outstream
where the string argument is just like in the  C  mkstemp,  but  without  the
trailing "XXXXXX".
