[ruby-core:83701] [Ruby trunk Feature#14092] Add extension key argument to Tempfile

Issue #14092 has been updated by shevegen (Robert A. Heiler).


It may be best to just publish your suggestion anyway. I may be wrong but the
ruby core team and matz appear to be quite busy currently - see the queue of
other suggestions. Perhaps they will do some "batch-discussions" of many 
features/changes in meetings in japan with matz which seem to happen once
per month at best.

I don't work with Tempfile often, but every time I do, I get surprised by an obscure way to pass an extension to file name.
You have to pass array, where first element is a file name and a second is a file extension *(starting with a dot)*, which is quite a unique *(not in a good way)* and unusual interface for ruby.
I think a much better interface would be to use a separate key word for this.

I've  researched the code and it seems we can achieve that without changing much code. I can make pr, if you think the idea is worthy
