Subject: 26.1; Please support creating a remote temporary file with Tramp
Date: Thu, 31 Oct 2019 22:02:57 +0100

I am working on an Emacs application that spawns a remote process via
start-file-process. That process will use a remote file that should
ideally be generated in analogy to a local temporary file as can be
obtained with make-temp-file.

Specifically, the application is ediprolog, and there is user demand for
extending it to work with remote Prolog processes:

    https://github.com/triska/ediprolog/issues/4

Hence, it would be really useful if for example make-temp-file could be
extended to create a temporary file on the remote machine.

Thank you and all the best!
Markus
