Both file.truncate() and StringIO.truncate() accept an optional "size" parameter to truncate the file to a specific size. SpooledTemporaryFile should accept a similar parameter and pass it on. The only tricky part is that truncate can potentially increase the size of a file, so it needs to check the max size and rollover if appropriate. Patch is against py3k branch; should work on trunk modulo the use of b"xxx" in the tests.
