Good question.
I had a look at the doc, no rationale seems to be given: https://ccl.clozure.com/docs/ccl.html#streams
So I looked at the source. `open` calls to `make-file-stream`, but there is no comment or documentation there as to why they create a temp file and how they deal with full file systems.
So I guess this is an unresolved problem with CCL.
