// To confirm this is working, run these steps multiple times in a row.

// Discussion:
// Be careful with deleteOnExit() as there is no way to cancel it.
// There are also mechanisms specifically for creating unqiuely named temp files.
// On completion of JSR 203, there will be additional methods available for
// deleting which throw exceptions with detailed error messages rather than
// just return booleans.
