I suspect that is going down a wrong path.
We use the sequence:
fd = creat("temporary location");
write(fd, ...);
close(fd);
rename("temporary location", "final location");
in quite a lot of codepaths. I think they can be factored out,
to take the "final location" (and perhaps a suggested temporary
directory) as an parameter, and that code can check that "final
location" is a symlink to somewhere else and create the
temporary next to the target file.
