Yes, having it written explicitly in docs (that remove means not only a file 
removal with unlink/remove and warn about lacking file descriptors), or/and 
providing a remove function in tempfile which will both unlink and close, would 
be valuable.

The use case is that when the process crashes during some scientific 
computations, I still want to keep the file to investigate. Of course, one can 
argue that try/except could copy the file somewhere else, but having it still 
in /tmp (and pointing to this file in the log) is pretty useful.
