Given that requirement (atomicity) and its implication (same partition),
would it not be better to create these temporary files in a 'tmp'
subdirectory of their target directory (e.g. 'lisp/tmp' for el files in
'lisp' and 'lisp/calc/tmp' for el files in 'lisp/calc') instead of using
random filenames in the target directory itself?
