Looks great!  Feel free to move it to a non-scratch branch (e.g. using
"Version: 0" if you still don't want to release it as a GNU ELPA package).

And here I was, thinking it was mostly designed for use by automated tests.

I think that's about as good as it gets currently.
It's pretty reliable/safe in this use case (it gets more tricky if you
need to find such files during byte-compilation of your file).
