I understand they do slightly different things (in that one gives you an actual file name the other gives you a file handle), but I normally don't need or care about the file name if I expect my temporary file to live and die with the request. Things I usually use tempnam() for are usually things that get born with the request and don't necessarily die with it, like binary storage that's tied to the session (temporary file uploads that might be moved later or deleted). But I don't see any harm in adding this either.
