So these are very-short-term scribbles that aren't meant to survive a
reboot?

(Myself I use unsaved buffers in XEmacs for that. Why not just open a file
in emacs or vi and don't save it? ;) )

No, they're both short- and long-term. The short-term ones I delete after I'm done with them; the long-term ones accumulate. /tmp doesn't get wiped on my systems; that's an optional setting, and one I don't need.

Aha, that makes sense. I'd almost forgotten that systems could exist in
which /tmp was not a tmpfs... :)
