We don't need to create a temporary buffered binary or text file object just to create an empty file.
Is there a reason for this? I find it quite explicit and obvious what the following does:
with open("somefile", "wb"):
passso I wonder what replacing it with support.create_empty_file() brings (except from having to lookup yet another helper function).
Regards
Antoine.
