I think the function you are
adding should be named make-temp-file-internal, as we do with other
functions whose low-level parts are implemented in C.

I was following the lead of names like lread--substitute-command-keys, print--preprocess, and thread--blocker, all low-level C functions whose first part identifies which C module they're in. Although I see that the "-internal" suffix is more popular for this sort of thing, isn't that a revenant of the old days, before we instituted the convention of using PREFIX--NAME for private names? Or is the "-internal" suffix a separate naming convention, used by both Lisp and C code, that has a different semantics from PREFIX--NAME? If so, it would be nice to have advice somewhere as to when to use the -internal suffix vs when to use PREFIX--NAME.
