The doc string of with-temp-file should mention that the new buffer
created is killed at the end.
I tried to do this:
(unwind-protect
(with-temp-file "foo" (pp something (current-buffer)))
(kill-buffer "foo"))
If the doc string had been clearer, I would only have done this:
(with-temp-file "foo" (pp something (current-buffer)))
Also (too late to change this, though), the name is not very well
chosen - it gives the impression that a temporary file is involved,
whereas a temporary buffer is involved.
