What did you do?

I tried to make a temp directory with a predictable name suffix.

What did you expect to see?

A temp directory named /home/tv/.cache/foo/foo.<random string here>.ext

I expected ioutil.TempDir to follow the same new logic as TempFile now does. See
191efbc
#4896

What did you see instead?

A temp directory named /home/tv/.cache/foo/foo.*.ext<random string here>

Changing the prefix argument to ioutil.TempDir into a pattern argument exactly like that of ioutil.TempFile seems like a reasonable change.

Does anybody see any problems with this?

Given that this is exactly what we did in #4896 for TempFile and no one raised any concerns when Ian asked two weeks ago, this seems like a likely accept.

Leaving open for a week for final comments.

Hey Russ, I just moved this issue from Backlog back to Go1.14 as I submitted a CL and it is just waiting on feedback on the example test before final review on merge.
