On Unix I'd even suggest to let io.open() write eveywhere *but* ~,
with the exception of ~/.fgfs/, or even just ~/.fgfs/*/. But I have
no clue if that would be acceptable on MS Windows, where most people
seem to work as root.

The whole tmp dir concept seems to be a mess on MS Windows.
I assume that a set TMPDIR or TEMP is rather the exception, and
that the "real" tmp dir is stored in the registry. Not exactly a
place where I'd like to go. I'd rather use FG_HOME only, then.
