OK; though personally I don't see that it matters. IIUC, mkstemp,
fileio.c's make_temp_name, etc, all use a finite number of possible
random states, and they don't have the <2>... fallback that
generate-new-buffer-name does.
(Another option is to extract the random scheme that make_temp_name uses
to a separate function and use that here too.)
What do you want the arbitrary constant N to be ? :)
