  | That is negligible cost of getting TMPDIR propagated to most programs.

Sure, it isn't much, for one program, but when you're running tens of
thousands, it all adds up.

And, for most users, there should be no point - only those who need to
alter the default need to set it.

There has to be some fallback for programs run like

	env -i prog

for TMPDIR (and everything else, like PATH, ...) if those defaults
are suitable for most users, then less leeds to be added to the environment.
