+ * QTemporaryFile object itself is not destroyed, the unique temporary file
+ * will exist and be kept open internally by QTemporaryFile."
+ *
+ * This behavior causes issues when running tests on Windows. If the file is
+ * not closed, the testSave test will fail due to Access Denied. The
+ * auto-reload test also fails from Windows not triggering file change
+ * notification because the file isn't actually closed by QTemporaryFile.
+ *
+ * This class isolates the Windows specific logic that uses QFile to really
+ * close the test file when requested to.
