| Why not use mktemp? "man mktemp" for information about templates, suffixes etc.
That's what one should do in scripts. It's part of making scripts
bullet-proof. It's funny how tricky it is to get this right (race
conditions, etc.).
I'm sorry that I didn't make it clear that I use my naming convention
on the command line (and from my text editor, etc.). Not in
scripting.
