OK.

> ... syntactic sugar

Syntax sugar would (could) be not just "sugar" because
it would be automatic, so less error prone, and there
could be other advantages as well, e.g.
the automatization could come up with random names
and/or check for existing files before creation, then
lock the file, and delete it as well when the
scope ends.
