The latter for tmp/intermediate files (without hassles, eg creating
unique fileNMs!). - and which can be wiped with a single command at the
end of the run!
The former for 'valuable stuff'. With the opportunity, to separate
output presentations and inputs using sub-dirs!
(noticed in one such implementation, the need to separate different
'runs' of the same app, by the same client, using alternate hypotheses -
that required another 'layer' of sub-dirs!)
Thanks!
