That will not work well in many cases. /tmp often doesn't stick around, nor is
there any standard safe system-wide place anything could write to. How do you
handle containers where the software is preinstalled and provided on readonly
mounts and with new blank /tmp? This approach is also nasty to package. The
whole approach is a weird kludge.
I do grant you points for being clever, but isn't there a better way?
