i've thought about this, too, but i wonder if it would not violate some Unix
standard (Posix?) in some way? i don't have any such standard in front of
me, so i can't say for sure. but it seems like that for /tmp to be useful,
it has to guarantee at least *some* integrity.
e.g. one common use of /tmp (in the world of GNU) is when compiling with gcc
without the -pipe option. envision a very perverse situation, where many
users are doing many compilations at once (the system would have to be under
*very* high load), and gcc dumps its temporary .S files to /tmp. wouldn't
it be possible that one of those .S files "expires" before the assembler
even gets a chance to look at it? would this violate some sort of Unix
standard?
