Comment (by bgamari):

 I don't think we want to create any directories in `openTempFile`.
 Afterall, it would then be unclear whether the user should cleanup the
 parent directories or just the file.

 Consequently, I think the right solution here is to simply disallow path
 separators in the template: if the user wants to specify a directory
 component then they can provide it in the first argument.
