Description
Hello,
Is it possible to implement temporary file features:
On close file, remove itself, like Tempfile
import tempfile
fp = tempfile.TemporaryFile()
# Would be like now
fs = build_filesystem('')
fp = fs.TemporaryFile()
Would be comfy and nice since your module is able to extend to many fs, while only local for tempfile
Br

Research direction
Start by locating the build_filesystem('') entry point and the filesystem API it returns; compare the requested behavior with Python's tempfile.TemporaryFile documentation. Done means a temporary-file API is available through the filesystem abstraction and removes the file on close, with tests covering that behavior.
