Summary: tempfile.rb should let you preserve a file

Initial Comment:
Hello, this is not a bug but a feature request.  Perhaps these should be addressed to some other place?  In any case:

There are times when it would be nice to not automatically delete Tempfiles - when debugging for instance, but also in cases when an error occurs and you want to be able to examine what was going on.  What would be fantastic is a 'preserve' method that you can call that prevents the file from being 'reaped'.  I wasn't able to implement a patch to do this, unfortunately.
