## @deftypefn{Function File} {@var{n} = } temp_name ( rootname, quick )
## @cindex
## name = temp_name(rootname, quick=1) - Return a name that is not used
##
## Returns a name, suitable for defining a new function, script or global
## variable, of the form
##
## [rootname,number]
##
## Default rootname is "temp_name_"
##
## "quick" is an optional parameter, which defaults to 1. If it is false,
## temp_name() will find the smallest acceptable number for the name.
## Otherwise, a hopefully quicker method is used.
