Provide a platform-agnostic way to determine the temp. directory, e.g., via an automatic variable. #4216
Description
The various supported platforms have different native ways to determine the directory in which to store temporary files and directories:
- Windows:
$env:TEMP
- macOS:
$env:TMPDIR
- Linux:
/tmp
Currently, there is no platform-agnostic way to refer to this directory, which is cumbersome.
An automatic variable, say $TEMP, could provide this abstraction.
