Comment (by dd32):

 No problem :)

 A few other thoughts:
 - We should probably let the caller specify the destination folder AND
 filename, save the class guessing where to put the file.
 - The return could be modified to have headers, body(empty - for
 backcompat purposes), and (optionally) a filename/path field for when it's
 been saved
 - The temp directory function could probably be moved to a non-admin spot
 like that, it'll help plugins expecting to find it on cron tasks/etc.
