Why do we need to use this O_TEMPORARY flag at all? I understand that we are using OS functionality, available on Windows, rather than implementing it in Python. But why doing this, if we already do this for none-nt systems in Python any way? Doesn't it just complicate the code? https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/fa8c9e70104b0aef966a518eb3a80a4881906ae0/Lib/tempfile.py#L423
