Exactly because it is NOT always going through a temp file.
Just look further upthread- this particular user doesn't
even *want* a temp file, just the data. Why should he need
to make all those "open/read/write/close file" system calls
if he doesn't need them?

That's a possibility, but I fail to see its advantage over
APR::Brigade exposing flatten(). It is part of the C API
after all, eh? Why shouldn't perl programmers have access
to it?
