Feature request #1624: Add chmkdtemp method

Description

As a convenience, add a method like this:

def chmkdtemp *args, &block
  dir = Dir.mkdtemp *args
  Dir.chdir dir do
    yield
  end
  dir
end

So that we can do this kind of thing:

describe 'foo' do
  it 'bar' do
    Dir.chmkdtemp do
      # test code inside temp dir here
    end
  end
end

Instead of manually doing the chdir ourselves.

The other alternative is to just teach the mkdtemp method to take an optional block and do this itself.

    Done. In the end decided to make mkdtemp take an optional block.
