The first thing I do in such a situation is think about which Oracle
Component is closest to what I want to do, then study its source in
src.zip  JavaDoc is fine for the details, but it does not tell you
what something is for, i.e. its intended use.  I am quite sure you are
familiar with the technique, but you asked  to stimulate a general
discussion.

Why do so many operating systems refuse to define a standard 
temporary file marking mechanism? It could be a reserved lead character
such as the ~ or a reserved extension such as .tmp.
It could be a file attribute bit. Because they refuse, there is no 
fool-proof way to scan a disk for orphaned temporary files and delete them. 
Further, you can't tell where the orhaned files ame from. 
This means the hard disks gradually fill up with garbage.
