Cool, I think I will use it!

But shouldn't the doc test of save_session be changed, using tempfile?
After all, if the user has a file 'session.sobj' in the current
directory, the doc test would destroy it.

As much as I see, SAGE_TMP is removed as soon as you quit Sage.
However, if explicit deletion were necessary: How can one delete a non-
empty directory? os.rmdir(...) would complain.

Thank you!
