PROPOSAL: Add openFileTemplate, openBinaryFileTemplate to System.IO

[minh thu]

Hi,

"Temp" is indeed for "temporary" but the function still takes a
template as parameters. The proposal seems to be to to have a similar
function, one that also uses a template, but with the default
permissions, not those of a temporary file create by the existing
functions.

Cheers,
Thu
